5 hari hanyut dalam kotak simpanan sejuk, 2 nelayan Mexico diselamatkan
Menurut mangsa bot dinaiki mereka karam dalam tempoh kurang lima minit dan tidak sempat mengambil apa-apa, termasuk air minuman, makanan serta radio.
Two Mexican fishermen were found inside a blue insulated box 240 kilometers from the Chiapas coast in the Pacific Ocean after being lost for five days, according to the German news agency citing the Mexican Navy on Thursday. The Mexican Navy, via the statement X, announced that the two men were found during a search and rescue operation approximately 240 kilometers south of Mexico's Chiapas coast.
A fishing cooperative informed the authorities following loss of contact with the 53 and 32-year-old fishermen. They were out fishing when a storm hit the boat, according to Jose Luis Portelas, the younger fisherman in a video statement after their rescue. In the incident around 3 a.m. (0900 GMT), he said, their boat capsized in less than five minutes and they did not have time to take anything, including drinking water, food, or a radio.
The only thing we could do was empty the insulated box and enter it. One of the fishermen, Daniel Guerrero, thought he would never see his family again. It was clearly a difficult situation as they had no equipment to fish or any water supplies. The sun was nearly setting on them. The military ships and planes were involved in the search and rescue operation.
They were found inside the blue insulated box before being rescued and undergoing a health check. The Mexican Navy said the two fishermen were eventually flown by helicopter to Puerto Chiapas Port. Video footage shows them being greeted by family members in an emotional scene.
