filisterGeographe Bay: Teen swims hours to save family stranded off Western Australia
The boy’s 47-year-old mother, her other son, 12, and daughter, eight, were located at around 20:30 by a rescue helicopter clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore.
FFS BBC, did nobody proof read this?
what should it say?
Something like:
‘The boy’s 47-year-old mother, her other son, 12, and daughter, eight, were located at around 20:30 by a rescue helicopter. They were found clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore.’
The way they’ve put it, it sounds like the rescue helicopter was clinging to a paddleboard when it found them!
good edit, also if you use numerals for numbers (12) dont change to word numbers (eight) inmediately after!
also i want to see the footage of the rescue copter clinging to the paddle board :(
