Helicopter rescue of old man from sinking boat in Croatia

A 56-year-old Croatian man was rescued from his sinking boat on Monday, seconds before it was dragged under the waters of River Sava in Zagreb.


After many hours of trying to tow Ivan Plevnik and his boat to safety, emergency officials had to winch a rescuer down from a helicopter.


The heroic rescue operation succeeded at last second when the boat began to sink.
