A boat carrying dozens of kids capsized in San Francisco Saturday afternoon, but all passengers were accounted for with one being in critical condition.

A San Francisco Fire Department spokesperson initially posted a message on social network Twitter, saying about 30 juveniles were aboard the boat and some were trapped under the hull.

U.S. Coast Guard rescue crew, including divers, were dispatched to the scene off the historic Pier 45, one of the tourism destinations along the city's waterfront, in the heart of the Fisherman's Wharf neighborhood.

An unconfirmed report from NBC Bay Area TV said a five-year-old boy was pulled out of water unconscious and was resuscitated before being sent to a hospital in the city in northern California on the U.S. west coast. Another passenger was also listed in critical condition.

There was an Air Show on Saturday in the skies above the waterfront,featuring U.S. Navy Blue Angels, a flight demonstration squadron, and Air Force's F-22 Raptor.

The event, part of the annual Fleet Week activities, usually attracts 1 million people around the San Francisco Bay Area.
