Coast Guard Rescues Four at Sea
The Coast Guard rescued four people from a sinking boat in the Gulf of Alaska. The Coast Guard just shared this video from the rescue that happened Friday about 100 miles south of Cordova. Members of the vessel Sea Ranger reported that they were adrift, had smoke in the engine room, and were taking on water. A helicopter crew responded and hoisted all four people on board the boat to safety.
