Nine lost at sea for three months; five rescued 5,400km away in Kiribati

In July, a boat with nine individuals vanished during its voyage between islands in Micronesia. The US Coast Guard launched a ten-day search, but no clues were found. Miraculously, nearly three months later, five survivors emerged on a Kiribati island, a staggering 5,400 kilometers from where they set sail. After enduring severe dehydration and malnutrition, they received medical attention.
