Missing fishermen found alive inside cool box after 5 days lost at sea

Two Mexican fishermen survived nearly five days at sea inside a cool box after their boat sank in the Pacific Ocean, according to Milenio. Daniel Guerrero Martínez, 53, and José Luis Portelas Villegas, 32, left the fishing town of Paredón, Chiapas, on the Camaronera last Thursday, then lost contact the next day when the vessel went down, triggering a search. Initial efforts focused on boats tracing their route, before an aircraft expanded the area and the navy joined using surface and air units under Mexico’s Trinomio concept. The men were found 150 miles off the coast of Chiapas on Wednesday. They were taken to hospital after being rescued and airlifted, and an investigation into the sinking has been opened.
