Woman rescued from sea in Falmouth
A woman was plucked from the sea 400 metres from Falmouth's shoreline in the early hours of Friday morning in a situation which could have had a 'much more tragic outcome'.
The woman, who had apparently decided to attempt to swim towards the docks just after midnight, became fatigued in the cold waters and people on the shore alerted the emergency services.

“Too true DD, too true. So many unqualified journalists online these days think they know how to write, when they are just regurgitating PR pap and don't know they are being royally spun. Where is the questioning attitude and critical eye of an experienced eye, I ask myself. Not from this souce, that's for sure.....has 'form' over it.”

“@Carolebb: yep, there are lots of 'reporters' working for papers these days, and a lack of 'journalists'!

“What sloppy journalism - no detail to the story or follow-up by Sunday night and an illogical and brief quote from the RNLI, no doubt scooped up without question from a press release. Poor stuff from this writer - YET AGAIN!”

“I hope the idiot is going to give a sizeable donation to the RNLI I think the next time we read of this woman it will be in the Darwin awards”
