Three men survive shark attack before being rescued after boat sank during fishing trip

Three fishermen survived a deadly shark attack after they became stranded for more than a day when their boat sank in Louisiana.

Phong Le, Son Nguyen and Luan Nguyen were out on a normal fishing trip on Saturday, before they realised they had set their anchor higher than usual and about 25 miles from shore the engine began having problems.

Their ship sank in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico near south-east Louisiana and soon Nguyen found himself having to fight off a shark before the US Coast Guard finally rescued them after more than a day.
