The Last Goodbye: Survival in the Gulf of Mexico | E 173
In March 2012, former Marines and best friends Ken Henderson and Ed Cohen watched their boat sink beneath them in minutes, leaving them stranded 50 miles offshore in the frigid Gulf of Mexico with only life jackets and their unbreakable bond. After 30 hours battling hypothermia, hallucinations, and treacherous currents, Ken faced an impossible choice: stay together and both die, or leave his dying friend to swim for help. Ed's final words—"Kiss my babies for me"—became both a heartbreaking goodbye and a sacred promise that would define Ken's survival and forever change both families.
