18 shellfish harvesters drowned in Lancashire harbor
In the bay of Morecambe, Lancashire, 18 edible shellfish collectors from China became victims of a sudden strong tide, according to the Air Force. The incident happened in the middle of the day on Thursday. Another 14 people got ashore on their own, or were pulled out by rescuers. They are hospitalized with symptoms of hypothermia. How many people were involved in the collection of molluscs, it was not immediately possible to find out, since all the rescued do not speak English.
