Oracle America's Cup boat Capsizes
The Oracle Team USA boat capsized Tuesday afternoon near the Golden Gate in San Francisco, and live video captured it as the currents pulled it from the Golden Gate, crew on board.
- The 72-foot Catamaran, Larry Ellison's hope for the America's Cup, capsized in rough surf, as the crew held on, awaiting rescue.It was not immediately clear what impact this would have on the team's participation in the 2013 race to be held in San Francisco. Nor, is this the first time one of the team's yachts have flipped.

- Reaction to the capsizing varied from empathy, to wisecracking.
- Here is the team on its first sail of the AC72
- This is one of the team's other boats, the AC45, when it capsized in June.
