Tug overturned

A tug, the Red Jasmine, has run aground and overturned in the River Clyde, west of Glasgow, this evening. One person managed to swim ashore at Clydebank, but three others are still missing. Coastguard personnel has been scouring the water since 6.30pm, but conditions are poor, with a dense freezing fog blanketing the area. This meant that a helicopter, which had flown in from Prestwick, had to turn back.

  1. Oh God!   What awful weather to be thrown int the River Clyde! I hope they are found safe and well.  The poor souls!!  Its too cold to poke your nose out the door let alone fall into the water.
    I will pray for them.
