Three fishermen survived a harrowing 24 hours adrift at sea after Hurricane Nadine sank their boat in violent waters.
Astonishing footage captures the moment the resilient men were finally rescued as enormous waves crashed around them.
Their boat, the San Crisanto 10, was overwhelmed by powerful winds and waves, leaving them clinging to plastic drums to stay afloat.

Originally, five men were aboard the vessel, but tragically, two remain missing, according to reports from VKNews24.
The rescue took place on Saturday, October 20, in the Gulf of Mexico near Costa Esmeralda, Mexico, when the Propemex 14 vessel located the survivors.
In the rescue video, one of the fishermen can be heard shouting, “The boat went down!” as rescuers urged them to “Hold on!” and “Stay calm!”
A rubber ring was eventually thrown to the distressed men, leading to their safe retrieval.
While the three were saved, the families of the missing men are pleading with authorities to keep the search alive.
This disaster comes on the heels of Hurricane Milton, which hit the area just over a week before Nadine. Milton’s devastation caused four vessels to go missing in the Yucatán Peninsula.
By October 11, authorities had located the last missing boat, though tragically, no crew members were found on board.
Of the other missing ships, two returned safely to port, while the third was discovered capsized with no signs of survivors.
