A seaman in his 30s miraculously survived almost 20 hours at sea after falling off a cargo ship near Australia's southeastern coast. The man was rescued by a recreational angler who found him drifting several kilometers away from the ship. The incident occurred on Thursday night when the seaman was last seen aboard the Singapore-flagged bulk carrier, Double Delight.
Details surrounding how the man fell overboard are still unclear. However, upon rescue, he was found wearing a life jacket and was conscious but severely hypothermic and exhausted. Despite his condition, he was able to communicate with the rescuers.
