The U.S. Coast Guard had a busy day rescuing three elderly passengers from a cruise ship 100 miles east of from Hilo, Hawaii.

An 86 year old man suffered a heart attack, an 82 year old man had symptoms of internal bleeding, and a 76 year old woman suffered abdominal pains.

The helicopter deployed two helicopters and a plane to the Holland America Line cruise ship, the Oosterdam. The Coast Guard took the ill passengers to Hilo Medical Center.

A cruise ship in the middle of the ocean is not where you want to be if you are gravely ill.
