This boat from what I saw did not look capable of carrying 12 safely. Looked like a rowboat with an outboard motor. For a lake Yes not the Hudson.

From the FDNY Facebook page:

“This is a tragic day for New Yorkers. We lost two people today, a 7-year-old male and a 50-year-old female. In addition, there are two New Yorkers in critical condition in the hospital and an additional New Yorker, who is critical but stable at the hospital at this time. We also have eight additional people with minor injuries," said Acting Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh, from this afternoon’s water rescue on the Hudson River at Pier 84. FDNY Units worked in conjunction with NYPD Units to remove all the individuals from the water. “I was able to get in and make a surface swim over to the vessel which was upside down. I was able to deflate myself and get under the boat. I encountered an NYPD Diver under the boat. I moved forward and found an air pocket. I located a small individual and was able to remove that individual, and our Rescue Paramedics began medical interventions.” said FDNY Firefighter Ryan Warnock of Rescue 1, who was the Rescue Diver during today’s water rescue."

Now reporting that there were up to 14 in the boat rented by a family. Sad event.
