The video on the BBC News pages shows the crew being rescued from their position at the top of the drop, but the video didn’t come across.

Just found this among the 2nd hand ads, maybe they wanted to get rid of this useless piece of kit

I wonder how deep the lake is re anchoring - and if they even had an anchor on the boat?

I seem to remember the article (that I can't find) mentioning a 40 metre drop from the dam. I doubt that they had an anchor anyway.
