Charleston, SC, United States (AHN) - Seven people were rescued off the coast of Charleston over the Labor Day weekend after clinging to a floating cooler for 20 hours.
 
 The boaters were rescued about 25 miles east of the city on Sunday. They had been missing since the previous day, when the engine compartment of their powerboat flooded and they had to abandon ship.
 
 The four adults and three children were reported to officials as overdue by the wife of the boat owner. They were found as the Coast Guard was making its final turns in the moonlit sea after six hours of searching. All of them were wearing life jackets near their capsized boat.
 
 "The front of the boat was sticking in the air about four feet and they were clinging to a cooler," Petty Officer 2nd Class Jason Booher said in a statement. "They had no lights, no signaling device, no EPIRB and no radio."
 
 The boaters were brought to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Their names and conditions have not been released.

License
THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE ("LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE
LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.
BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. TO THE EXTENT THIS LICENSE
MAY BE CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND
CONDITIONS.
1. Definitions
	
"Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in
	unmodified form, along with one or more other contributions, constituting separate and independent works in themselves, are assembled into a
	collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as defined below) for the purposes of this
	License.
	
"Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation,
	musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any
	other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a
	Derivative Work for the purpose of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition or sound recording, the
	synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License.
	
"Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities that offers the Work under the terms of this License.
	
"Original Author" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities who created the Work.
	
"Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the terms of this License.
	
"You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this License who has not previously violated the terms of this
	License with respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous
	violation.
2. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce, limit, or restrict any rights arising from fair use, first
sale or other limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright law or other applicable laws.
3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, non-exclusive,
revocable (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:
	
to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more Collective Works; 
The above rights may be exercised on freely and openly accessible web media formats . The above rights include the right to make such
modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other media and formats, but otherwise you have no rights to make any alterations
or  Derivative Works. All rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby reserved, including but not limited to the rights set forth in
Sections 4(d) and 4(e).
4. Restrictions.The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
	
You may publicly display the Work only under the terms of this License, and You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier
	for, this License with every copy of the Work You publicly display. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Work that restrict the terms of this
	License or the ability of a recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. You may not
	sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties. When You publicly display the
	Work, You may not impose any technological measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise the rights
	granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. This Section 4(a) applies to the Work as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does
	not require the Collective Work apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a Collective Work, upon
	notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collective Work any credit as required by Section 4(c), as demanded.
	
You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward
	commercial advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or
	otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no
	payment of any monetary compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works.
	
If You publicly display the Work (as defined in Section 1 above) or Collective Works (as defined in Section 1 above), You must, unless a
	request has been made pursuant to Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are
	utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, and/or (ii) if the Original Author and/or Licensor

	copyright notice, terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party or parties; the title of the Work if supplied; to the extent
	reasonably practicable, the Uniform Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not
	refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work. The credit required by this Section 4(c) may be implemented in any reasonable
	manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of
	the Collective Work appears, then as part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors.
	For the avoidance of doubt, You may only use the credit required by this clause for the purpose of attribution in the manner set out above and, by
	exercising Your rights under this License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by
	the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your use of the Work, without the separate, express prior written
	permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties.

	termination of this License.
	
Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
	Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any
	time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be,
	granted under the terms of this License), and this License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as stated above.
