are we retarded or what?
...why wasn't the Coast Guard able to find these boys faster???!!!....6 days!...come on people? This should have taken a few hours tops. No wonder we can't find Bin Laden. No more people to the moon if we can't even keep track of them down here.
These two kids- wow very tough! amazing:
Teens saved after six days at sea
At one point the pair thought they had drifted close to AfricaTwo US teenagers lost at sea for six days have been found by fishermen more than 100 miles (160km) from where they had set off.
Troy Driscoll, 15, and Josh Long, 18, survived on jellyfish and seawater after their small sailing boat was swept out to sea off South Carolina.
The pair were picked up off Cape Fear after they were seen on Saturday clinging to the 14ft (4.3m) boat.
The boys were said to be sunburned, dehydrated and exhausted.
Sharks
The pair had set out on a blustery day when the National Weather Service warned small boats to stay off the water.
They realised they were in trouble almost immediately and tried to swim back to shore, pulling the boat along with them.
I asked God to take me
Troy Driscoll
The boys shared a single wetsuit to stay warm at night.
They said they tried to take dips in the ocean to cool off, but were chased back on to their boat by sharks.
At one point the boys thought that they had drifted so far out into the Atlantic that they were close to Africa.
"I asked God to take me," Troy said. "You're out there fighting for your life. We didn't want to fight anymore."
Charleston coast guard June Ryan said the search team had prayed for a miracle - and "got one".
"Everybody on the East Coast has been looking for these boys," she said.
