SS Bacarella back in Bergen
According to NRK.NO :
David Tang , the lucky survivor of the heli crash in Byfjorden was in good shape and held a big diner for his Norwegian rescuers yesterday.
He said he did not remember much and wanted to thank them and hear the story firsthand.
The local RedningsSkøyta ( rescue cutter) was just 2 to 3 minutes away that day. A good thing ,as mr Tang arrived at Norways best hospital, Haukeland very quickly. But , he had no sign of life and several doctors was shure he was a goner.His heart had stopped for at least 25 minutes.
Mind you he was a fighter and made it.
Still a bit soar from the broken ribs his rescuers caused in doing CPR that dramatic evening.
And he was saving his voice from the reporters to talk with the crew.
These brave men in the small Cutters that I have always admired as a kid, had a swell dinner on SS Bacarella.
Mighty fine of Mr David Tang
