Rescued crew members of a stranded freighter walk out of a helicopter with the help of rescue workers at a parking lot in Weihai, East China's Shandong province, Nov 2, 2010. The freighter Wanmuchun 12 was swept more than 1,000 meters away from its anchors and stranded about 300 meters from the mouth of Shuangdao Bay in Weihai in the early morning hours. Fourteen crew members were stranded due to a leak in the engineer room and called for help. After they finally got a response from the city's maritime search and rescue center, the local police bureau initiated an emergency plan for a joint rescue operation. [Xinhua] |
