Japan coast guard rescues man a day after his boat capsizes

A 69-year-old man drifted in choppy waters for nearly a day while clinging to the bottom of his capsized boat until he was saved by the coast guard, officials said Wednesday.

Wow, tough cookie. Lots of people would not have survived this, and certainly not at his age.

Not quite ‘International Rescue’ then…

Good deed!

Oh ok ?

Just meld to shipwreck stories into one article.

Might want to change the headline then.

Japan coast guard is the best! They always give their all :)

He must be healthier than most 20 years old's running around in Shinjuku, guaranteed.

Man, that's one lucky dude. He'd better thank his lucky stars during prayer tonight.

Wasn't this on the BBC or something a couple of days ago?
