Sociedad

Manuel Hernández fue imputado por dos cargos de mala conducta y negligencia de un oficial de barco por el vuelco de una embarcación turística cerca de la Estatua de la Libertad el 7 de agosto, que causó la muerte de la de 27 años Sara Sánchez y su hija de cinco meses, informó NBC News el 11 de agosto. El barco de 22 pies, con 14 pasajeros a bordo, se volcó en el puerto de Nueva York el 7 de agosto; la madre y el bebé fallecieron mientras doce pasajeros fueron rescatados, según CNN. Las autoridades indicaron que la embarcación operaba sin la licencia requerida y estaba sobrecargada, lo que motivó la detención previa del capitán por cargos de imprudencia grave, según reportes de NBC News, AP y CBS.
