Fox News
Long Island police rescued two men from a sinking sailboat that was being battered by wind, rain and rising tides off Fire Island early on Saturday.
"The lines on the sailboat broke and were being smashed against the dock and other boats," in Fire Island Pines Harbor, police said in a press release. Dramatic cockpit surveillance footage showed the officers maneuvering their rescue vessel near the thrashing sailboat so the unmoored mariners could jump to safety. "Hold it… hold it…. go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go," an officer could be heard saying, as he helped the mariners onto the police boat, the video released by police showed.More Related News
