“I will just lie here and let nature take its course, this is my life now” – Old couple get swept out to sea and nearly drown by storm fuelled waves on the French coast!
This is the terrifying moment two pensioners and the passer-by who tried to save them – nearly met a watery end when they were swept away by strong waves. Luckily they were rescued by another bystander who leapt in after them, and escaped without serious injury despite repeatedly being knocked down by the violent waves and dragged out to sea. The wind had reached speeds of 86mph and code orange (‘be prepared’) was in place. The waves were up to 15ft (5m) high.
