Three men stranded on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean for more than a week were successfully rescued after their message "HELP" written in palm tree fronds was spotted from the sky during a joint rescue operation launched by the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy.
The men, experienced mariners all in their 40s, reportedly embarked on a voyage from Polowat Atoll, which is part of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), on Easter Sunday in a small, 20-foot open skiff that had been equipped with an outboard motor. Link in bio.
