Tales of Survival, Hope and Bravery

by Mark Chatham

The ocean is not always a friendly place to be, but for some this is their place of work. In bad conditions, waves can rip oil rigs apart, leaving survivors in desperate need. The response of search and rescue teams in times of danger is marked by courage and fierce determination. And it results in some terrifying stories.

The response of search and rescue teams in times of danger is marked by courage and fierce determination. And it results in some terrifying stories.
