  "account": "Mexico's coast guard informs that two fishermen were discovered in a refrigerated box 240km from Chiapas' southern coast, after being adrift at sea for five days, reported German news agency quoting Mexico's Navy on Thursday.\n\nThe Mexican Navy informs that the two men were found during a search and rescue operation approximately 240km off the coast of Chiapas, Mexico, via X transmission. A fishing cooperative informed authorities after losing contact with the 53-year-old and 32-year-old fishermen. They were out fishing when a wave hit their boat, according to Jose Luis Portelas, the younger fisherman in a video statement after being rescued. In the incident around 3 a.m. (0900 GMT), he said, their boat was hit in less than five minutes, and they had no time to take anything, including drinking water, food, or a radio. The only thing we could do was empty the refrigerated box and enter it. I think I would not see my family again, said another fisherman, Daniel Guerrero. Clearly, the situation at that time was very difficult because they had no equipment for fishing or drinking water. It didn't rain. The sun was almost killing us. The naval ship and aircraft were involved in the rescue operation. They were discovered inside the blue refrigerated box before being rescued and undergoing a medical examination. The Mexican Navy said the two fishermen were later airlifted by helicopter to Puerto Chiapas port. Video footage shows them being welcomed by family members in an emotional scene.",
