Prince William helps save two after cargo ship sinks

PRINCE William has joined a frantic rescue mission after a cargo ship sank in the Irish Sea, leaving several crew members missing. 
 
The second in line to the throne, who is a Royal Air Force helicopter pilot, was aboard an aircraft that rescued two crew members after their vessel suffered a cracked hull in gale force winds off the coast of north Wales.

Britain's Ministry of Defence said William had been co-pilot of the helicopter, which carried two people back to his base RAF Valley, on the Welsh island of Anglesey.

Authorities said five people remain missing after the Swanland cargo ship, which had eight people on board and was carrying thousands of tonnes of limestone, sent a mayday call.

Holyhead Coastguard said one body had been recovered from the sea, but that the fate of the other crew members was not yet known.     Read Here
