I post this video since the second video which is the pickup by helicopter is the one that I wanted to post but the two are the same incident.http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/images/play_thread.png (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=1600)

Where there only two men on the trawler or did people go down with the boat?

The guy you see going under, was caught by some ropes and dragged down.....lucky for him he got free.

What happened? Gear stuck on the bottom?

Is this the Irish trawler that was allegedly sunk by a nuclear sub being caught in it's nets? If so that was quite a few years ago..... The boat in the vid would have to of been travelling in reverse if it's nets were just snagged on the sea bed. Glad those guys escaped ok.
