Alaska Wildlife Troopers rescued three fishermen in Bristol Bay, after their boat ran into a sandbar, became stuck, and capsized.
“In a place where the sea gives no second chances, these brave Troopers brought three fishermen home,” the Alaska State Troopers wrote. The video posted on social media comes from the body cameras worn by troopers involved in the rescue:
