Antonio Hurtado admitted to being on drugs and passing out when he tried to smuggle 32 migrants aboard his boat last year.
Many passengers identified Antonio Hurtado in a photo lineup as the person who piloted the vessel, according to court recordsIt was midmorning on a Sunday, and sightseers at Cabrillo National Monument and the tidepools below watched the boat capsize.
After several hours, Hurtado tried to lift the anchor but struggled, and the passenger told Reuters that he leaned over and cut the anchor rope or chain with a saw. Hurtado jumped into the water and made it to land, abandoning his passengers, many of whom were huddled in the cabin. Surf pounded at the boat, breaking it apart and sending the remaining migrants into the sea.A Navy airman on a hike with his family dived into the chilly waters and helped save several migrants who were pitched into the sea from a sinking smuggling boat off San Diego.
Hurtado, who struggled with drug addiction, was in debt and promising people that he would be paying them off just days before the wreck, acquaintances told the San Diego Union-Tribune.
