5 people found alive after 3 months adrift at sea in tiny 20-foot boat

Five people, including two children, have been rescued in the remote Pacific Ocean after surviving for three months adrift in a small boat, according to authorities and international news outlets.  

The three adults and two children who were rescued on Nov. 1 were among nine passengers who set out July 30. Their trip was intended to be a routine, one-hour crossing between the Micronesian islands of Murilo and Ruo, according to reports from the Australian Broadcasting Corp. (ABC) and The Times of London.
