Two rescued after 50 hours


MUAR: It was almost a miracle when two crewmen were rescued – barely alive – from the engine room of a sand dredge, some 50 hours after it capsized off the waters here.

The two were trapped in an air pocket within the Chinese sand dredge which had capsized and turned turtle at about 9am on Wednesday.
