Families of Missing NYC Teens Plead for Return After Ocean Tragedy

Two high school friends disappeared while swimming at Jacob Riis Beach, prompting calls for better safety measures.

Relatives and coaches remember the teens as bright, joyful, and respectful individuals.
Calls for improved beach safety include more patrols, lifeguards, and better signage.
