Russian Man Rescued After 67 Days Adrift in Sea of Okhotsk

Mikhail Pichugin survived by drinking rainwater, but his brother and nephew died during the ordeal.

Mikhail Pichugin, 46, was rescued by a fishing vessel near the Kamchatka Peninsula, about 1,000 kilometers from where he initially set off.
Pichugin had embarked on a whale-watching trip with his 49-year-old brother and 15-year-old nephew, both of whom perished.
The inflatable boat's engine failed, leaving the trio adrift with limited supplies of food and water.
Pichugin survived by collecting rainwater and using a camel wool sleeping bag for warmth, while losing half of his body weight.
Authorities have launched an investigation into potential safety violations that may have contributed to the deaths.
