Best radio conversation with the rescue services ever...
"OK. What is your position?"
"We're probably about halfway between the port of East London and Durban."
"No, no, no, what are your coordinates?"
Moss had no idea what their coordinates were.
"What rank are you?"
"Well, I'm not a rank - I'm a guitarist."
A moment's silence.
"What are you doing on the bridge?"
"Well, there's nobody else here."
"Who's on the bridge with you?"
"So I said, 'It's me, my wife - the bass player, we've got a magician here…'"
I read this earlier, what a rollercoaster. And what a hero.
Just read that too. Just imagine being in that situation where the entire crew have thought "sod this, I'm outta here" and jumped in a life boat and disappeared...
I listened to it on R4 this morning on way to work. Normally I switch off this particular program (Life Changing) as its all a bit meh but I just listened spell bound, deffo worth 30 mins on Sounds if you haven't heard it - they guy was just one of life's legends
Why hasn't it been made into a movie?
That really struck a chord with me.
