Two people were killed, including a 7-year-old boy, after a boat carrying roughly a dozen people on board capsized in the Hudson River on Tuesday.
Derick Waller reports New York state law prohibits teen drivers from riding with more than one person under the age of 21.
However, the outcome of the boating tragedy could have been far worse had it not been for the swift response by a New York ferry service that happened to be passing by at that moment. "We kicked in and did what we had to do, we put on our life jackets, flipped the boat and flipped the adjacent cradle down and started pulling the passengers out," a New York Waterway Ferry employee said.
