On Thursday morning the children set sail from the port to the yacht club of Riverdale on several sailboats, but soon 2 ship capsized and the passengers were in the water. Accompanied children instructors pulled them from the river and put on boats, but they sprung a leak, unable to withstand large weight.
The incident took place near the rotary bridge Spuyten Duyvil. To help immediately arrived rescuers from the police Department, Palisade Parkway — they put a group on his boat and taken back to the yacht club.
Fortunately, anybody from children has not suffered, because they were all in lifejackets.
