Midlands Firefighter Lost in Channel Swim

It made me quite cross that this happened while all the news was about very rich, self indulgent people in a submersible.

Priorities.

So tragic. RIP

Oh how very sad. Support boat????

What a tragedy. A dreadful outcome of trying to help others.

What a terrible tragedy; heartbreaking.

How can that happen I thought the accompanying boat always kept the swimmer in sight

Just an update for people who are interested:
Iain's fundraising target for his swim was £21,000.
Donations are currently over £49,000.

How terribly sad, someone trying to raise money for charity losing their life in the process RIP

Dreadful news. He had a support boat ….. how did it lose him? Why were the RNLI not called in to help?

How sad. Thank you V3ra. We too have reason to be grateful to West Midlands Firefighters.
