LOUISIANA - A daring rescue off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico by the Coast Guard. Two men were rushed to the hospital by helicopter and Coast Guard crews are continuing the search for another man missing.

What Happened in the Gulf?

The Coast Guard station in New Orleans got a report from the boat Linedout that they were taking on water with two people onboard and a third man had fallen overboard.

An urgent message was sent out and a Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew and a Station Grand Isle 45-foot Response Boat crew rushed to the scene to try to save the men. The lift boat Gloria responded to the urgent and took the two injured men aboard their boat.
