Two dead after boat capsizes in Jamaica Bay A fishing boat capsized on the waters of Jamaica Bay on Oct. 2, killing two people and injuring three during a night of heavy wind and rain. At about 7:46 p.m., two men who had been on the boat swam to shore and alerted an on-duty guard at the NYPD’s aviation base at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn that their boat had capsized and that three other friends were in the water. Police and FDNY harbor boats found two men near the shore and had to rescue a third. Authorities transported them to local hospitals. The two men who died, ages 42 and 50, were rushed to Mount Sinai Beth Israel after suffering from cardiac arrest. They were pronounced dead on Friday night, police said. According to authorities, both men are Brooklyn residents.

Brooklyn residents Duanzhao Zhang, 38, Tong Shun Zhang, 29, and Tong Zhew Zhang, 24; Weiyang Yao, 47, and Yuejiang Zeng, 53, of California; and Shan Wu Zhang, 30, of Canada were arrested on Oct. 5 and, as of press time, were awaiting arraignment in Queens Criminal Court on charges of criminal possession of marijuana. According to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown, members of the DEA’s New York Drug Enforcement Task Force were in the vicinity of 50-22 Ireland St. in Elmhurst at about 1:25 a.m. on Monday when they saw the six men unloading cardboard boxes from a 18-wheel semi-tractor trailer into a small U-Haul truck and another smaller cargo van. When the officers approached the vehicles, they were allegedly “overwhelmed by a strong odor of marijuana” which was coming from the tractor trailer and the boxes being transferred to the smaller cars. The agents then allegedly saw seven large pallets holding cardboard boxes stacked at least 6 feet high in the tractor trailer, according to Brown. It is estimate that the boxes held more than 3,000 pounds of marijuana packaged in vacuumsealed plastic bags. Along with the marijuana, the men were also found with between $200,000 and $300,000 stacked and bundled inside the three vehicles. Photo courtesy of DEA
