洛杉矶 — 周五，美国海岸警卫队接到一艘船只正在下沉的五一求救电话后，前往墨西哥下加利福尼亚州海岸外的太平洋进行救援，救出了16人。另有11人被认为失踪。该船只沉没在一个经常有走私者将移民运往美国的海域，但该海域也受到渔船和休闲船只的欢迎。圣地亚哥海岸警卫队表示，只发现了碎片，未发现船只，目前不明涉事船只的类型。
LOS ANGELES — Sixteen people were rescued from the Pacific Ocean off Mexico's Baja California coast on Friday after the U.S. Coast Guard responded to a May Day call reporting the vessel was sinking. Another 11 people were believed to be missing. The vessel went down in an area frequented by smugglers transporting migrants to the U.S. but that is also popular with fishing and leisure boats. No vessel, only debris, was found and it was unclear what type of boat was involved, the Coast Guard in San Diego said.
该队在大约周五凌晨1点接到求救电话后，收到约有27人落水的报告，地点位于墨西哥恩塞纳达以西约140英里处。圣地亚哥海岸警卫队中尉圣地亚哥·坦布里尼表示，当救援队到达该海域时，“人们正互相拉扯，抓住碎片，只是在水中踩水，试图保持头部露出水面，等待获救。”他还说，一名获救者因疑似鲨鱼咬伤正接受治疗，另有两人情况危急，这是当局的说法。
It received reports of 27 people in the water approximately 140 miles west of Ensenada, Mexico, after getting the distress call at about 1 a.m. Friday. By the time crews reached the area “people were holding onto each other, to debris, just treading and trying to stay above water before being rescued,” Coast Guard Lt. Santiago Tamburini said. One person rescued was being treated for a suspected shark bite and two people were in critical condition, authorities said.“Boats in that area can be for fishing, leisure, personal recreation. We just don’t know what they were doing out there. We all know it's a suspected smuggling route,” Tamburini said.
坦布里尼还说：“该海域的船只可能用于捕鱼、休闲、个人娱乐。我们不知道他们当时在做什么。我们都知道那是一条疑似的走私路线。”他补充说：“在那片海域，大海是无情的。”目前尚不清楚该船是迷航、发动机故障、被卷入大海，还是本来就打算开那么远。坦布里尼表示，船上一人发出了五一求救电话，称船正在下沉。
He added that “the sea is unforgiving” in that area, and it was unclear if the vessel got lost, had engine failure, was swept out to sea or meant to go that far.A person on the vessel transmitted the May Day call saying it was sinking, he said.
圣地亚哥海岸警卫队的一名军士长克里斯·萨佩表示，一名获救者称船上最多曾有27人。海岸警卫队在一份声明中表示，获救者中有两人是墨西哥国民。获救者被直升机送往圣地亚哥，随后被送往医院。圣地亚哥斯克里普斯 mercy 医院发言人珍妮斯·柯林斯表示，有三人被送往该医院，包括疑似鲨鱼咬伤的一人以及两名因受寒接受治疗的人。圣地亚哥市发言人马特·霍夫曼表示，有两名患者情况危急。
One person rescued said as many as 27 people had been on board, said Petty Officer Chris Sappey. Two of the people rescued were Mexican nationals, the Coast Guard said in a statement. Those rescued were flown by helicopter to San Diego and transported to hospitals. Three were taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego, including the person with a suspected shark bite and two people treated for cold exposure, said hospital spokesperson Janice Collins. Two patients were in critical condition, said Matt Hoffman, a spokesperson for the city of San Diego.
目前尚不清楚搜寻范围是否包括疑似遭鲨鱼袭击的受害者以及两名出现失温症状的人员。海岸警卫队与美国海军出动了两架直升机、一架固定翼飞机、一艘巡逻舰及一艘海军战舰在该海域展开搜寻。位于恩塞纳达的墨西哥海军也同步启动了搜救行动。
It was not clear if that included the suspected shark bite victim or the two people with cold exposure. The Coast Guard and U.S. Navy were searching the area with two helicopters, a fixed-wing plane, a cutter and a Navy combat ship. The Mexican Navy in Ensenada also launched a search and rescue operation.
据美国国家气象局驻圣迭戈的气象学家乔纳森·苏克介绍，周五凌晨该海域风力较大，但就当地气候而言仍属正常。当时恩塞纳达以北海域的浮标监测数据显示，来自北方及西北方的风速约为10节，浪高约5英尺。“换作是我，可不愿驾驶皮划艇出海，”苏克说道，“不过那些常在此处作业的船只通常都能应对此类海况。”他还指出，当时海水温度为68华氏度，对太平洋海域而言算相当温暖；气温则为70华氏度。
Conditions on the water at 1 a.m. Friday appeared to be windy but fairly typical for the area, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Jonathan Suk in San Diego. Winds out of the north and northwest measured about 10 knots and waves measured 5 feet at a buoy north of Ensenada, he said.“I wouldn’t want to be out there in a sea kayak,” Suk said. “For the vessels that usually operate out there, they’re usually built to handle things like that.”The water temperature measured 68 degrees Fahrenheit fairly warm for the Pacific and the air was 70 degrees Fahrenheit , Suk said.
如今，越来越多的移民选择冒着风险通过偷渡船渡海，以避开戒备森严的陆地边境。这些被称为“潘加船”的小型船只通常在深夜从下加利福尼亚州出发，有时会航行数百英里前往北方。近年来，此类偷渡船只前往加利福尼亚途中倾覆的事件屡有发生。2025年5月，一艘潘加船在美国-墨西哥边境以北约35英里处发生翻船事故，至少三人丧生。
Migrants are increasingly turning to the risky alternative offered by smugglers to travel by sea to avoid heavily guarded land borders. Small boats called pangas leave Baja in the dead of night and sometimes travel hundreds of miles north. There have been several incidents in recent years of migrant vessels capsizing en route to California. In May of 2025, at least three people died when a panga flipped off the coast about 35 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border.
2023年，两艘偷渡船在浓雾中靠近圣迭戈海滩时，其中一艘在浪涛中倾覆，造成八人死亡，这是近年来美国海岸发生的最惨重的一起海上偷渡事故。2022年，一名圣迭戈男子因驾驶一艘超载32名移民的小型船只，结果船只在美国海岸的巨浪中解体，导致三人死亡、二十余人受伤，最终被联邦法官判处18年监禁。
In 2023, eight people were killed in one of the deadliest maritime smuggling accidents off the U.S. coast, when two boats approached a San Diego beach in heavy fog and one capsized in the surf.A federal judge sentenced a San Diego man to 18 years in prison in 2022 for piloting a small vessel overloaded with 32 migrants that smashed apart in powerful surf off the coast, killing three people and injuring more than two dozen.__Brown reported from Billings, Montana.
