Emergency Services at Central Pier

[Johnno]

Anyone know what was happening around tea time? I’m guessing a training exercise? From the Lifeboat house to Central pier, there were Police vehicles, ambulances, coastguard and beach patrol vehicles, loads of them. Finished with an air/sea rescue helicopter coming down to about 100’ next to the pier.
I’ve never seen so many units attending to someone in the water, so that, coupled with it being right next to the RNLI has to make it an exercise?

ConfirmEd as a major incident.

Drove past around 6ish and as described above there were probably a dozen police vehicles and at least 2 Ambulances, plus the helicopter. Didn’t look good.

Holy shit! We’ve all seen stuff on the prom, but honestly this was off the scale! Honestly thought it must be training. Thoughts with all those affected

Tide wasn’t fully in, all emergency units on the prom, instead of on the beach. Looked more like a show display really. It must have been a bit of a random situation!

Search and rescue chopper was scouring the coast at very low level about 10pm last night. Wonder if this was connected?
