A man who fell from a cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico has been rescued after more than 24 hours stranded in the water.
The passenger on board Carnival Valor went missing at around 2.30pm local time on Wednesday, and - in a Thanksgiving holiday miracle - was not hoisted out of the water until Thursday evening. He was found by a US Coast Guard helicopter about 20 miles off Southwest Pass, Louisiana, and was said to be in a stable condition despite the ordeal.
Matt Lupoli, a spokesperson for the cruise operator, told US media the 28-year-old man had disappeared during a bathroom break, having been at a bar with his sister.Alongside the Jayhawk helicopter crew who ended up rescuing him at around 8.30pm, the Coast Guard dispatched boats and a separate air team on an Ocean Sentry surveillance plane.
They responded after the man was spotted by the crew of a carrier called Crinis, which was operating in the area.
