3,500-Tonne Ship Heading Straight for the Rocks | Saving Lives At Sea

🚨 A 3,500-tonne cargo ship loses engine power and its anchor fails, leaving it drifting towards the Cornish cliffs with thousands of tonnes of cargo and fuel aboard. With just two and a half hours before it could be smashed against the rocks, two RNLI crews race to stop the vessel from breaking apart. Welcome to the official Saving Lives at Sea YouTube channel, featuring dramatic RNLI rescues and real-life emergencies from around the coasts of the UK and Ireland.
