Saved from sinking ship: Dramatic rescue caught on tape in China

11 people are missing after a barge capsized in rough seas off China's north-east coast. This is CCTV footage of the rescue efforts. A helicopter was sent to the scene and found three survivors who'd scrambled onto the hull of the overturned ship. Search teams are continuing to look for the missing sailors.

So sad, drowning has to be one of the worst ways to exit.

My hopes & prayers are with the families of the missing men. I hope they are all will be found safe.

@RedShadow238 apparently it isn't that bad

Don't forget about what the Jews did to the slaves they brought to the Americas. See YouTube for:

@RedShadow238

wrong, that'd be burning to death.

I really don't think drowning isn't a painful way to go. I know, double negative, but whatever. It's just a specific form of suffocation, which is quite painful. I'd rather burn, cause you'd probably pass out from the pain shortly, with no hope for survival. Drowning keeps you reaching for air, no matter how unlikely it is that you'll get it, and ironically it just seals your fate. I almost drowned twice when I was younger (I hated swimming, still dislike it), and I remember it vividly. :/.

@pakjai That's true, even if you were an Olympic swimmer, if the water is cold enough it won't matter because your muscles will contract and you won't be able to use your limbs, or even breathe.

Damn, there goes about 3 million iPods destined for the U.S.

@RedShadow238 I wouldn't think so. It probably isn't painful, but you would definitely experience an insane amount of fear and anxiety. I can think of worse ways like burning alive, being crushed in an auto accident and left to bleed to death, eaten by wild animals, covered in boiling tar, being drawn and quartered, etc. The Christians were experts in torturing people to death too, so there are all kinds of medieval devices made to inflict the greatest amount of pain imaginable.

@hoosierhiver Swimming under normal condition is different to swimming out of a capsized ship in the windy and cold waters, not to mention the strength of the waves.
