EXCLUSIVE: Two of the three missing boaters who were saved in the Gulf of Mexico after 28 hours of drifting in shark-infested waters are here with us opening up about their experience.
The fishermen had set sail from Venice, Louisiana, on the morning of Oct. 8, but never returned home. A family member reported the men as missing around 10 p.m. that night, but no one knew exactly where they had been fishing.
The Coast Guard searched for the men for hours by air and sea, but it wasn't until Sunday afternoon that the search had a breakthrough.
Now, the boaters reunite with the rescuers live and speak on the fishermen’s unbelievable rescue that was all caught on camera.
