Multiple Rescues as Luxury Yacht Capsizes off North Carolina Coast
TL;DR
Four people were rescued from a 60-foot luxury yacht, the Moon Dragon, off the coast of North Carolina after it overturned due to "catastrophic flooding." The yacht's crew had to abandon ship after both port and starboard side hatches broke. The US Coast Guard responded to a distress call and successfully rescued the survivors using an airplane and helicopter. The yacht remains partially submerged, and a safety broadcast has been issued to notify other mariners in the area.
