Rowers Plucked From River Thames
Chiswick RNLI rescues them when boat overturns
Four rowers whose boat overturned were plucked from the Thames early Sunday morning (March 18) by a Chiswick RNLI crew.
A spokesman said the incident happened before noon when the rowers, who were all university students, fell into the water when their boat capsized.
The incident happened near Kew Bridge. The RNLI said it was not particularly windy at the time.
The students were all unhurt and none required hospital treatment.
