This guy is lucky to be alive…
The U.S. Coast Guard rescued a 25-year-old Filipino man from the water about 5 miles east of Port Everglades, Florida on Wednesday after the man apparently fell overboard from a containership.
Rescued was Lorejei Moscoso, a crew member on board the Liberian-flagged containership, Vega Sagittarius.
Moscoso was reported missing by fellow crew members after the ship moored in Port Everglades at approximately 6:40 a.m. He was reported as last seen at approximately 5:30 a.m.
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Miami issued an urgent marine information broadcast, directed the launch of a Coast Guard Station Fort Lauderdale 45-foot Response Boat—Medium boatcrew and a Coast Guard Air Station Miami MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew to search.
The helicopter crew located the missing crewmember and directed the boatcrew to his location. The boatcrew transferred the man to awaiting emergency medical services.
