Two rescuers lift an ailing oil tanker crewmember into their helicopter. A Filipino citizen on a Bahamas oil tanker suddenly fell ill when the vessel was heading for Dalian, Northeast China’s Liaoning province, on Wednesday morning. The North Sea relief flight team under China’s Ministry of Transport immediately launched the rescue and successfully airlifted the Filipino crewmember to the hospital, where he remains in stable condition.
