On July 31, the US Coast Guard released footage of saving a 22-year-old man who suffered seizures while at sea on a cargo ship.
The man was identified as Shuklendra Singh from India who had suffered a seizure at 4:52am while working on the 614-foot Bahama Spirit from Vanuatu.
Distress Call
The ship was 35 miles off the west coast of Tampa Bay when his fellow crew members raised the distress call to the Coast Guard Base Sector St Petersburg, saying Singh needed emergency assistance.
Safety at Sea
An Air Station Clearwater MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter lifted Singh from the Bahama Spirit and later disembarked at Tampa General Hospital.
