🚁 **Dramatic Rescue at Sea! 🚨**
In a nerve-wracking incident off the Welsh coast, two people were dramatically rescued after their microlight aircraft crash-landed into the sea near Cardigan Island on Friday evening. 🌊✈️
The microlight, which faced difficulties near the picturesque and uninhabited nature reserve off the coast of Gwbert, ended up in the chilly waters of Cardigan Bay around 6pm. The coastguard, with support from RNLI crews from New Quay and Cardigan, swung into action alongside a rescue helicopter and the Welsh Ambulance Service. 🚁🛥️
Rescuers found the duo perched on the wing of their fallen aircraft, anxious but safe. They were swiftly taken ashore by a lifeboat, where medical personnel awaited them. Thankfully, it seems that neither sustained serious injuries. 🙌
This incident unfolded about nine nautical miles northwest of Cardigan Island, turning a serene evening into a scene right out of a high-stakes rescue operation!
A big shoutout to the incredible work by the rescue teams who acted swiftly and efficiently to ensure the crew’s safety. 🎉👏
Stay safe, everyone, and enjoy the skies responsibly! 💙
