Year-Old Rescued After Clinging to Capsized Boat for Days in Alaska's Bering Sea

A 15-year-old boy survived for about two days clinging to the top of an overturned skiff in Alaska’s frigid Bering Sea after his boat capsized while fishing. Identified by a relative as Derek Parker Aghnaanga, the teen was finally pulled to safety on Monday by a fishing boat near St. Lawrence Island, a remote area closer to Russia than the United States. The bodies of his cousin and older brother were later recovered. The captain of The Northwest Explorer, Adam White, said Aghnaanga endured darkness and water temperatures around 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10°C), reporting that his brother was still under the skiff and that his cousin slipped away the night before rescue. The U.S. Coast Guard launched searches after family members reported the three missing on Friday.
