A video shot from a New Zealand rescue helicopter shows a man clinging to the wreckage of a fishing boat let go and leap into the arms of a rescuer after an accident in which at least four people died
WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- A man clinging in the dark to the wreckage of a fishing boat let go and leapt into the arms of a rescue swimmer in a dramatic video shot from a New Zealand emergency helicopter after a boating accident in which at least four people died.
Rescuers and police divers on Tuesday were continuing the search for one person still missing after the chartered boat that was carrying 10 people broke apart in stormy seas Sunday night.
Five people were rescued from the sea at around midnight after clinging to different sections of the overturned wreckage for hours, and four bodies were later recovered during daylight hours.
The video was shot from the Northland Rescue Helicopter at about 12:30 a.m. Monday after the boat's rescue beacon was activated more than four hours earlier off the remote North Cape.
