🚨 Dramatic Air and Sea Rescue Off the Welsh Coast! 🚁🌊
In a heart-stopping scene off the coast of West Wales, rescue teams launched a major operation after a person was found “not breathing” aboard a tanker 22 nautical miles out to sea. St David’s brave RNLI crew leapt into action, racing to the vessel on their all-weather lifeboat after a call from the Coastguard.
Three crew members quickly made their way onto the 95m tanker, where they found the casualty had thankfully started breathing again with the help of life-saving oxygen. The team took over care, delivering more oxygen and first aid while awaiting reinforcements.
✨ Just 15 minutes later, a Coastguard rescue helicopter swooped in from Caernarfon, landing paramedics to assist. St David’s RNLI worked side-by-side with the helicopter’s winch team, ensuring the safe transfer of the individual before they were airlifted to Withybush Hospital for further treatment.
By 4pm, the RNLI crew had returned to station, after ensuring the casualty was safely en route to medical care. The current condition of the individual remains unknown, but we’re all hoping for a swift recovery.
Huge thanks to the incredible teams at St David’s RNLI and Coastguard rescue 936! Your dedication and teamwork make all the difference in critical moments like these. 👏
Let’s send our well wishes to everyone involved and hope the casualty gets back on their feet soon! 💪💙
