FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The rest of the 18-strong crew are said to be uninjured but shaken by the
incident and those who are medically-trained have treated the four injured
crew members.
An attempt was made at around 2am last night (6pm local time) to parachute
medical help to the sailors but it was abandoned after poor weather
conditions meant paramedics were unable to jump out of the aircraft.
A helicopter will now be sent to help. At around 4pm this afternoon (8am local
time) it will launch from a coast guard ship to deliver medical supplies.
Subject to their medical condition, the injured crew will be taken off the
yacht.
Explaining the revised plan, US coast guard spokesman Levi Read said: “The
coast guard rescue co-ordination centre diverted the coast guard cutter
Bertholf, and that cutter is making its way towards the vessel.
“The coast guard also launched a long-range helicopter to rendezvous
with the Bertholf. Once it’s in range the helicopter will be able to take
off from the ship and fly to the vessel.
“They will then lower an emergency medical technician from the
helicopter on to the boat.
“He will assess the injuries, treat them and if necessary evacuate the
injured people and take them aboard the helicopter to the nearest medical
resource.”
Waves near the yacht are reported to be between 9ft (2.7m) and 15ft (4.6m),
and wind speeds are between 20mph (32km/h) and 30mph (48km/h), he said.
Mr Read added: “It’s certainly dangerous out there. But that kind of
weather is normal for this time of year especially for the storms we’ve been
having here in California.”
The yacht is heading towards Oakland, San Francisco Bay, under secondary
steering and is expected to reach land within two or three days.
Race director Jonathan Bailey said: “We are naturally concerned at the
recent incident on Geraldton Western Australia and are in close contact with
the skipper, UK Maritime and Coastguard at Falmouth and the US Coast Guard.
“The safety of all Clipper Race crew is extremely important to us. Our
skippers are highly experienced and several crew members on board have
medical training.”
