The US coastguard has said it rescued 16 people from the Pacific Ocean after a boat sank off Mexico’s Baja coast. The coastguard said on Friday it responded to a Mayday call reporting that a boat was sinking. The search is ongoing for 11 people believed to be still missing. The boat went down about 225km (140 miles) west of Ensenada, Mexico. A rescue helicopter reached the site about two hours after someone on the boat transmitted the Mayday call at about 1am (08:00 GMT) on Friday, said coastguard Lieutenant Santiago Tamburini. It took about 90 minutes for the coastguard crew, which included a rescue swimmer, to pull the 16 people from the water, Tamburini said. The people rescued were Mexican nationals, according to the Mexican consulate.
