Mumbai: At sea, 300 miles from Mumbai, an oil tanker was being battered by huge waves. The Coast Guard received a distress message from the ship, the MV Jana, at 4 pm on Sunday.
Three crew members on board the tanker had been seriously injured after a particularly high wave crashed into the shop. One of the men had broken his legs and ribs.
The weather meant that the Coast Guard could not send its own helicopter for help. So it asked the Navy to step in. A Seaking was sent for the rescue operation and the three injured crew members were air-lifted.
They are now recovering at a Mumbai hospital.
