Coast Guard airlifts woman from cruise ship
SAN DIEGO - The U.S. Coast Guard airlifted a 62-year-old woman yesterday from a cruise ship and brought her to San Diego for treatment after she suffered a head injury.
A Coast Guard helicopter picked up the woman about 5:15 p.m. from the Carnival Paradise cruise ship, which was 25 miles off Point Loma. The woman was hoisted up to the helicopter in a basket. Information on her condition was not available.
On Saturday, the Coast Guard also airlifted a 73-year-old man from a fishing boat about 88 miles south of San Diego after he experienced symptoms of a heart attack. He was taken to a hospital where he was reported in good condition.
