Jet Skier Missing Off Long Beach Found Alive After Extensive Search
A 53-year-old jet ski rider who went missing off the coast of Long Beach has been rescued and found alive after a thorough search lasting over 12 hours. The Coast Guard, aided by local agencies, initiated a search operation after receiving reports of a man falling off a personal watercraft. His disappearance triggered alarm when a woman’s screams for help prompted further investigations. Eventually, the man was located approximately 2.5 miles offshore and was reported to be in stable condition, although he showed signs of hypothermia. The successful rescue was part of a concerted effort involving video surveillance and coordinated search strategies.
