Sunken tugboat with body inside recovered from Hudson
The raising of a sunken tugboat brought closure to a family and will give investigators critical pieces to the puzzle of how the vessel ended up at the bottom of the Hudson River, officials said.
The tugboat SPECIALIST and the body of its third crew member, Harry Hernandez, were recovered Thursday, almost two weeks after the boat smashed into a construction barge in the early morning March 12 and sank near the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Officials hope that a preliminary report on the accident, which killed all three people on board the tugboat, will be available next week, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino said.
