Rescue
boats and a helicopter rush to the scene of an “accident” on the
Huangpu River during a drill in Shanghai yesterday morning. Shanghai
Maritime Safety Administration conducted the exercise in a mock
situation where an oil tanker collided with a passenger ship and where
passengers fell into the water. Rescue teams were dispatched as soon as
they were alerted. Rescuers also practiced emergency measures to contain
oil leaks and prevent explosions as well as to transfer the injured to
safety. — Xinhua
