‘Unbelievable’: Crews Rescue Teen Who Survived Days at Sea After Boat Overturns, Killing Brother, Cousin
The teen was found clinging to the overturned boat after a coordinated search by the Coast Guard and a nearby vessel.
- On Monday, the United States Coast Guard rescued a 15-year-old boy clinging to an overturned 18-foot vessel approximately four miles east of St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, after days adrift in frigid waters.
- The fishing vessel departed Savoonga on Friday and was due back early Sunday; weather conditions prevented the Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules aircrew from launching their search until Monday morning.
- Captain Adam White of the Northwest Explorer reported the water was 10 degrees Celsius when his crew spotted the teen four miles from St. Lawrence Island and hauled him aboard.
- The teen's brother and cousin died during the incident; rescuers transported the survivor, who exhibited hypothermia symptoms, to Nome for medical treatment.
- Lt. Jonathon Resch, the Coast Guard pilot who spotted the survivor, called the rescue an "emotional roller coaster," saying "We are beyond excited and beyond grateful that we found him, and at the same time, we are overwhelmingly remorseful that we didn't find the other two in time.
