Update on 3 Mexican Fishermen Found after 9 Months at Sea
CNN.com offered more details and more questions about the story we reported last week about 3 Mexican fishermen found over 5000 miles from Mexicon in the Western Pacific. Quoting from the article:
“They read the Bible aloud, prayed — and tossed overboard the bodies of two dead companions they said starved to death. The government said Tuesday it would investigate the deaths and other aspects of the survivors’ account. … With no shelter onboard, the men protected themselves from the sun with blankets and set about doing what they knew best: fishing. They crafted lines from cables and hooks from springs in the boat’s motor.
‘We straightened them and made hooks,’ survivor Lucio Rendon said in an interview Tuesday with the Televisa network. ‘There were times when we caught four, five fish, and at times nothing.’”
