'Miracle': Teens found alive after 50 days at sea
Three teenagers have been rescued after 50 days adrift in the Pacific Ocean, according to reports.

The trio survived by drinking rainwater and sharing raw fish and a seagull which they'd managed to catch, rescuers said.

The boys' families had assumed Samuel Perez and Filo Filo, both aged 15, and Edward Nasau, 14, were dead and held memorial services for them.

6. I agree. Survival kicked in.
Really it is amazing...they are so young to have had the sense to do what they did.

5. Some good news for New Zealand.
