Two fishermen who were seriously injured in an accident that sank their boat more than a thousand miles off the coast of Mexico are safe today after pararescuemen from the 129th Rescue Wing, California Air National Guard, jumped from an HC-130J Combat King II aircraft Friday night to reach them and provide medical assistance.
The injured fishermen and two dozen other passengers of the sunken vessel were aboard another boat when they were treated. They were taken to Socorro Island, a remote island nearly hundreds of miles off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, for further transport to a hospital.
Members of the 129th left Moffett Air National Guard Base in Mountain View Friday for the flight south with mid-air refueling support from the 940th Air Refueling Wing at Beale Air Force Base. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Airman Duane Ramos)
