Impresinante VIDEO e Imagenes. Rescate de los tripulantes del Luno
A Spanish cargo ship carrying about a dozen people crashed into a jetty and broke in half off the southwest coast of France this week, and the Associated Press has some incredible photos of the rescue.
A military helicopter evacuated crew members from the ship on Wednesday. Rough waters in the Atlantic Ocean pushed the ship into the jetty after its engine broke down, according to the Associated Press.
The helicopter lowered rescue workers toward the ship so they could pull the crew members out:
El carguero vasco Luno, construido en los Astilleros Murueta (Bizkaia) y que zarpó del Puerto de Pasaia (Gipuzkoa), se ha partido en dos frente a la costa de Angelu, en Iparralde.
Los 12 tripulantes del barco han permanecido atrapados en el interior del buque durante tres horas y han tenido que ser rescatados uno a uno por un helicóptero, con gran dificultad debido al temporal.
Uno de ellos ha tenido que ser trasladado a un centro hospitalario al tener la nariz fracturada.
