US man rescued after 66 days missing at sea: coast guard

A US man missing at sea for more than two months was celebrating a miraculous rescue after being picked up by a passing ship and airlifted to land, the US Coast Guard said. Louis Jordan, 37, who was reported missing on January 29, told family members he survived by catching fish with his hands and drinking rain water, according to the Coast Guard. A US Coast Guard helicopter then hoisted him to safety back to a hospital in Norfolk, Virginia, a statement said. Frank Jordan, the sailor's father, told CNN he did not know what had caused his son's boat to break down.
