A rescue helicopter crew plucked an injured Filipino sailor from a ship passing through Cook Strait this afternoon. A piece of flying metal injured the crewman when a grinding machine broke down on board the bulk carrier, which is traveling between Australia and Brazil.
Westpac Rescue Helicopter staff say the 28-year-old suffered a cut to the abdomen. They winched him off the ship 8km from Wellington's South Coast and flew him to the city's hospital in a stable condition. (http://www.tv3.co.nz)
