On February 28th, 2009, Marquis Cooper, Will Bleakley, Corey Smith, and Nick Schuyler were going on a fishing trip 35 miles off the coast of Florida in Cooper's boat. The waters were pretty calm when they left, but started to get more rough throughout the trip. The boat capsized, leaving the four men clinging to the 21-foot long boat.

Schuyler was found by the Coast Guard two days later, clinging onto the boat. He said that the other three men were tired of hanging on, so they took off their lifejackets and floated off.

The Coast Guard searched over 24,000 square miles of ocean for over 60 straight hours. They ended the search after 4 days of looking.


For a more indepth explanation of what happened, feel free to check out these two articles I wrote for SportsFullCircle.com:
