Woman Looked out Her Window During a Work Video Meeting and Saved 3 LivesA woman was working from home when she saw a fishing boat that was about to sink. Pam Harght was in a work video call in Marshfield, Boston when she saw the boat. "It looked like the boat was taking on water, which I guess at the time, it had actually rolled, and then I saw a dark cloud of smoke and then the boat disappeared," she told CNN. "That was probably in a matter of 60 or 90 seconds."She initially assumed that rescuers were on the way. When she didn’t see any response, she excused herself from the work meeting and called 911. It turns out that the boat sank so fast that the crew members weren’t able to send a distress call to the authorities. Harght’s call was the only report of the incident. Her call enabled the rescuers to save the three fishermen in the boat. They were in the water for almost an hour, without any life jackets or survival suits. The men were only clinging to floating fishing gear to survive.Image credit: Lieutenant Eric Norlin/SFO via CNN#rescue #luck  #boatsinking #911
