On September 10, 2026, a 15-year-old boy was rescued by the Coast Guard after spending three days adrift in the frigid waters of the Bering Sea near St. Lawrence Island in Alaska. The teenager had originally gone fishing with his brother and cousin but became the sole survivor when their small boat capsized. Rescuers found him clinging to an overturned vessel, suffering from hypothermia. Coast Guard crews initiated a search after being alerted that he and two relatives were missing. Videos show the boy in a bright yellow jacket being pulled aboard by a fishing boat crew as rescuers warmed him with blankets and hot packs.
