Three stranded sailors were rescued from a remote island after a navy plane spotted a giant 'HELP' sign made of palm trees on a beach.
Three sailors — who spent more than a week stranded on a remote, uninhabited island — were rescued after a navy plane spotted a giant “HELP” sign made of palm trees on a beach.
However, nearly a week later, on April 6, the U.S. Joint Rescue Sub-Center in Guam got a distress call from a woman saying that her three uncles had not returned from their fishing trip. On April 7, the Poseidon plane passed by Pikelot Atoll and crew members aboard the U.S. Navy aircraft spotted and photographed a huge makeshift sign reading “HELP” on the small and uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean.The trio of sailors had used palm leaves to spell out the word “HELP” on the beach and it was thanks to this ingenious sign that the U.S. Navy aircraft managed to spot the mariners on the island.
