SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A 29-year-old man experiencing a medical emergency on a ship was airlifted by the U.S. Coast Guard Wednesday.

According to the local sector of the Coast Guard, a distress call came in around 1:30 p.m. reporting the medical emergency.

Watchstanders at the Joint Harbor Operations Center determined that the man required immediate higher-level medical care.

At that point, Sector San Diego launched an Air Station Jayhawk Helicopter crew with a Specialized Trauma Assistance Team medic to retrieve and transport the patient ashore.

The man, whose identity was not released, was retrieved from a petroleum oil tank ship that was located about 160 miles off the San Diego coast.

The aircrew landed at Sector San Diego around 4:30 p.m. and successfully transferred the patient to awaiting Emergency Medical Services. He was reported to be in stable condition.

This week in AI, eight prominent U.S. newspapers owned by investment giant Alden Global Capital, including the New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune and Orlando Sentinel, sued OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement relating to the companies' use of generative AI tech. “We’ve spent billions of dollars gathering information and reporting news at our publications, and we can’t allow OpenAI and Microsoft to expand the big tech playbook of stealing our work to build their own businesses at our expense,” Frank Pine, the executive editor overseeing Alden’s newspapers, said in a statement.
