The rescue operation took place at Thornwick Bay in North Yorkshire, England, after the men struggled to swim in difficult water conditions, reported People. Four men were rescued by coastguard officials after they became trapped in a cave near the coast in the United Kingdom.
The Coastguard team explained that the overhanging cliffs made it impossible to rescue them from the air.
The Bridlington Coastguard, Filey Coastguard Rescue Team and Flamborough RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) worked together to rescue the men. Meanwhile, the officer in charge was checking the safest way to reach the two men inside the cave. The Coastguard team explained that the overhanging cliffs made it impossible to rescue them from the air. The team then sent a cliff rescue team.
The Bridlington Coastguard Rescue Team said in a press release on Saturday, October 10, that it had received a report about four men struggling in the water. A technician descended to within five metres, or about 16.4 feet, of the two men to assess the situation.
