"Miraculous Survival: Long Island Swimmer Rescued After 5 Hours Adrift at Sea"

A man in Long Island, Dan Ho, was swept out to sea while swimming and spent five hours treading water before being rescued. Ho managed to stay afloat without any flotation devices and created a makeshift flag using a broken fishing rod and his shirt to attract attention. He was spotted by two boaters who pulled him out of the water and alerted emergency responders. Ho was treated for hypothermia and exhaustion but was conscious and alert.
