Five people have been rescued after their boat capsized in the Manukau Harbour.
The Coastguard said the incident happened near Puketutu Island about 8.20am on Saturday.
The Police Eagle helicopter, Coastguard units from Titirangi and Papakura and Auckland Airport’s hovercraft helped to get the boaties out of the sea.
Two of them! Emergency vehicles to assist if a plane crashes into the harbour.
There’s an article about it here.
Neat. The area around Auckland Airport is perfectly suited for a hovercraft, come to think of it.
