A woman named Connie was out on a boat on Lake Texoma with her fiancé when some of their possessions went overboard, and she thought the best way to retrieve them was float out on the lake riding an air mattress.
And that's how she got stranded for two days.
Connie was only rescued when train conductor Cristhian Sosa and his engineer Justin Luster noticed her as they were passing by. Sosa told CNN that Connie was waving her arms and yelling for help, had cuts on her hands, and "was wet, confused and had no recollection of time."
Connie floated for two days on the lake, finally coming to a stop when she ran into what Sosa described as a levee, where she climbed up and sat on the rocks, and this is where the two men saw her.
Luster said, "It was just kinda unexpected. With the weather we were having we were the only train out there at the time ... and I'm glad we could be there when we were."
Connie's fiancé, who was on another flotation device himself, was able to make it to shore and walked to a random house where he notified the Oklahoma Highway Patrol that Connie had drifted away.
Sosa told CNN he's glad Connie is safe and hope her recovery continues to go well. "I'm glad I was with Mr. Luster and the both of us together could help get her some help," he said.
The highway patrol added that said since there was no crime committed, they will not be condicting an official investigation.
