A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter today rescued four men forced into a life raft after their fishing vessel began sinking on the Fairweather Grounds near Lituya Bay.
Here is remarkable video of the crew abandoning ship.
The vessel involved, the 73-foot Kupreanof, is homeported in Petersburg, the Coast Guard said.
