Two commercial fisherman are lucky to be alive after their boat capsized off the North Carolina coast, leaving them stranded overnight in the water. Kenny Rustick has spent 33 years as a commercial fisherman but, Tuesday afternoon, the dangers of the profession swelled with an oncoming storm. “I told William, I said, 'Get out, we’re going to lose her right now, get out,’” Rustick said.
Rustick and William Grant were shrimping out in the Pamlico Sound.
