Two fishermen rescued by passing vessel.

I spotted this on BFW, it's amazing how quickly the boat sank.

The life raft proved useless.

The lads were lucky to be rescued.

I did a survival at sea course years ago and remember being told that there was little danger of being pulled down by a sinking ship. But, there was a real risk of being hit by stuff floating back up from it. The plank of wood that launches out of the water at the end of the clip could have clattered the lads and shows the risk is real.
