Five people rescued from mud
Comments |
Five people had to
be
rescued by helicopter after their boat got stuck in the mud.
The emergency services were called to Royal
Terrace pier in Gravesend just before 7pm on Saturday.
Their motor boat had become grounded a short
distance away from the shore.
A crew from Thames-side fire station and the
Gravesend RNLI team attended the scene and the search and rescue
helicopter was later scrambled.
A spokesman for the RNLI said: “The boat was
very close to the shore but the decision was made to airlift the
casualties out by helicopter rather than take them across the
mud.”
