This photo provided by Thomas Coleman shows people watching as people are rescued after a boat capsized Monday, June 12, 2023, during a tour of an underground cavern system built to carry water from the Erie Canal beneath the western New York city of Lockport, police said.
“The boat did a 180-degree turn, so the bottom of the boat was upright in the water,” Lockport Fire Chief Luca Quagliano said at a news conference. “A number of victims were on top of that boat initially when rescuers got to them.” Authorities did not immediately release the name of the man who died. His wife was taken to a hospital, officials said.
