Eight fishermen rescued after drifting in sea for 3 days clinging to piece of plastic

This is the moment eight fisherman were rescued after drifting into the sea for three days - while clinging on to a piece of plastic.

The exhausted fishermen, who were all wearing orange life vests, were spotted in the middle of the sea in Vietnam when the Panamanian ship Trump SW crew found them in the Vung Tau province on August 26.

They were pulled onboard using a rope and given first aid treatment - with one suffering a broken leg while the rest had been starving and dehydrated.
