ABC News: Dramatic Sea Rescue: Sick Teen Saved
Laura Montero never thought her fun cruise to Mexico would end on a U.S. naval carrier surrounded by 3,000 sailors.The 14-year-old owes her life to the men and women of the USS Ronald Reagan, one of the largest aircraft carriers in the Navy, who saved her in a mission worthy of Hollywood script.
Montero was aboard the Dawn Princess cruise ship off the coast of Baja, Mexico, Saturday when her appendix burst.
“It was a matter of life and death so it wasn’t very good at all,” said Montero’s mother, Trudy LaField.
