A British grandmother has been dropped into the freezing North Sea during a bungled rescue mission to remove her from a cruise ship.
She was aboard the Ocean Princess cruise ship on a tour of Norway when she fell ill and had be transported to a Norwegian hospital.
While the rescue team was moving her on a stretcher to the rescue boat she fell into the sea — which was about -3C. It took rescuers eight minutes before she was retrieved from the water.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Just when you thought your day couldn't get any worse. Poorly on holiday, then dropped into the sea, strapped to a stretcher.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
How awful, I do hope the lady makes a swift and full recovery.
