the RN declared a "major incident" which it wasnt
I was under the impression that a quote “Major Incident” was any event whose impact cannot be handled within routine service arrangements. It requires the implementation of special procedures by one or more of the emergency services, the NHS, or a Local Authority to respond to it. unquote.
But of course you already knew that Crab....week one, day one basic SAR protocols really!
