Unhappy Two die as bad weather hits Cornwall
A man and a woman were killed when they were washed off a harbour wall in Cornwall.


The couple were walking along the pier at Mullion Cove when a wave washed them into the sea in gale force winds. Coastguards were contacted shortly after 1700 GMT on Sunday and an RNLI lifeboat and Royal Navy rescue helicopter were dispatched. Gale force winds and rough seas meant the bodies of the pair could only be reached by the helicopter.

Re: Two die as bad weather hits Cornwall
We now live in a world which gets risk assessed and managed by someone else. It's always someone else's responsibility to make sure we are safe. Maybe these tragic circumstances could have been avoided if people treated extreme weather conditions with the respect they deserve. Two very sad incidents.
