Looks like a bit of drama at Fawley last night, glad all people were rescued OK.

A Fawley emergency employee who was watching the capsized vessel from the pontoon then just glimpsed an arm in a small pocket of air behind a window. Without hesitation the employee leapt into the water, smashed the window and extracted the trapped crew member.

That took stones!

He'll get a Blue Peter bravery medal.

a bit dramatic, I have seen the Asterix around over the years, not the biggest of tugs and pretty old from memory, obviously not a reason it should have had a problem, but certainly quick thinking and bravery saved a man's life.
