The medical team who were winched to the ship provided medial attention, stabilized the women before winching her back on the helicopter and flew her to Wellington Hospital. Good news is she is reported in at stabled condition. RestingBird and coneyraven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Wow, hard to believe it could be that serious from doing normal duties....but it is a ship and at sea so anything can happen I suppose. Good to hear she is going to be ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
