Friday, January 23rd, 2015 Marine

Officials say 11 people are safe after being rescued from their sinking tow boat off the Hawaiian island of Oahu.
The Coast Guard says it received an emergency call Thursday afternoon from the 95-foot Nalani after it began taking on water about 2 1/2 miles offshore. Emergency vessels rushed toward the scene, while an alert went out for boats in the area to help with a rescue. Two vessels reached the stricken craft and brought all 11 people aboard to safety, later transferring them to a Coast Guard boat. No one was injured.
