"TAMPA, FLORIDA (TICKER) —The attending physician for the lone survivor of a boating mishap off Florida’s Gulf Coast said it was a “miracle” that his patient withstood the 46-hour ordeal.

Nick Schuyler, a former football player at South Florida, was in “good condition” Wednesday, two days after he was plucked from the sea while clinging to an overturned fishing boat.

“To stay in the water for 46 hours, to be alive, I think is a miracle,” Dr. Mark Rumbak said during a Wednesday morning press briefing.

Three men, including two NFL players, were presumed dead after the Coast Guard announced it was suspending its rescue efforts at 6:30 p.m. EST on Tuesday.

Free agent defensive end Corey Smith, Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper and former South Florida football player Will Bleakley also were aboard the boat that capsized in rough seas on Saturday night."

Hypothermia is the biggest danger, even in "warmer" water.

Well I think they all had that, at least the physical training part.

Sometimes it's just luck, or fate.

I've been watching since the beginning, hoping for a miracle. I was really thinking that they could hang on for a while and the coast guard could pluck them out.

We had a similar accident last year, out on the Oregon coast, but in much colder 51-degree water. Three middle-aged guys hung on to a 100-quart Igloo ice chest for about 6-8 hrs---- all but one made it.



Anyways....My thoughts go out to their family, friends and teammates.....

Dumb.

I feel bad for the victims and their families.
