Search & Rescue Helicopter

Currently going up and down the river around Grove Island, Athlunkard Bridge and Shannon banks.

Hope they find who they are looking for alive and well. Even better hope its a training exercise

Insect Overlord

Just spotted her flying over Caherdavin/Clonmacken. Hopefully whoever needs their help gets it soon.

Doubtful it is an exercise, saw the marine search and rescue dive van tearing down Henry Street around an hour ago with lights and sirens going.

Seems a teenage girl was pulled from the river near the Abbey Bridge. http://www.limerickpost.ie/2013/08/29/young-limerick-woman-dramatically-pulled-from-abbey-river/?fb_source=pubv1

Good that she was taken from the river alive.

I hope she gets whatever help she needs, and finds a way to get past whatever caused her to see entering the water as a way out.

It's inconceivable to you that she may have fallen in?

Read the article. They used a term that generally discounts accidental falling in.


Now it is possible the term was used in an incorrect manner by the newspaper, but I have taken what the paper put in print at face value and wish nothing but the best to the girl after her ordeal.

Is it just me, or are both yourself and testicle addressing each other in a very passive aggressive manner? It seems one or both of you is waiting for the other one to get into an argument. It's good that the girl came out alive, but it's none of our business if it was an attempt.

Was simply replying to his/her question, and referencing the paper as where my pov was coming from.


Have to agree with you though that the fact the girl came out of the river alive as being the most important thing , and the hows and whys really don't matter to anyone bar her and those closest to her.

calling it a false alarm is a bit odd, she was rescued before 115 got there

Having checked out the Limerick Post link...
To be honest any Reporter who can't even spell 'waded' is hardly a reliable source.....:rolleyes:.

I know Boards don't really like people to be pedantic, but it's this guy's job to be at least able to spell.
