3 fishermen fighting for their lives in frigid waters a mile off coast are rescued thanks to a woman on shore

Three fishermen who clung to debris in the frigid waters off the coast of Massachusetts for nearly an hour after their boat sank survived thanks to a sharp-eyed woman on shore who was the only person to call 911. The local fire chief said "nobody would've found them" were it not for the woman's response.

The 55-foot Bing Bing went down so fast about a mile from shore on Tuesday afternoon that the crew didn't have time to don survival suits or even make a distress call.

"To be fine one minute, to three minutes later being in the water to save your own life. It was like traumatic," crew member Joe Roderick told CBS Boston from his hospital bed, where he was recovering from hypothermia and from swallowing saltwater and diesel fuel.
