Boat sinks near White Island. Two brothers, Albert (0) and Bob Witherspoon, are in hospital after their boat sank offthe
south coast last Thursday. When the boat left the port (1) on Thursday
afternoon, the sun was shining and the sea was calm. The two men were
fishing near White Island (2) when the weather suddenly changed. All of a
sudden, it became windy and the sky changed from clear, light blue to
dark grey. The men decided to return to the port, but unfortunately (3) their boat hit a rock and sank almost immediately. When the Search and
Rescue helicopter arrived at the scene, the men (4) were holding onto floating pieces of wood.“Luckily, big pieces of wood (5) of the boat
were floating on the water and we were able to hold onto them until the
rescue team arrived,” Albert told reporters. The two brothers were wet
and cold, (6) but happy to be alive!
Лодка тонет около Белого острова. Два брата, Альберт и Боб Уизерспун, находятся в больнице после того, как их лодка затонула у южного берега в прошлый четверг. Когда лодка покинула порт в четверг днем, светило солнце и море было спокойным. Двое мужчин рыбачили возле белого острова, когда погода вдруг изменилась. Вдруг стало ветрено и небо изменило цвет от ясного, светло-голубого до темно-серого. Мужчины решили вернуться в порт, но, к сожалению, их корабль налетел на скалы и затонул почти сразу. Когда поисково-спасательный вертолет прибыл на место происшествия, мужчины плыли держась за плывущие куски дерева. "К счастью, по воде плыли большие куски дерева от лодки, и мы смогли держаться за них, пока не прибыли спасатели,” Альберт рассказал журналистам. Два брата были вымокшими и замерзшими, но счастливы остаться в живых!
