A Norwegian rescue diver lost his life on Friday afternoon (September 26) while attempting to save a young girl in a dramatic rescue operation in Lofoten’s Nappstraumen strait. Six people were rescued from the capsized vessel, but the girl remains missing.
The Norwegian Sea Rescue Society (Redningsselskapet) said the incident happened when their rescue boat RS 125 “Det Norske Veritas” was called to an emergency at 12:49 local time.
A fishing charter boat had capsized in the strait between Flakstadøya and Vestvågøya, with seven people on board, including four adults, two children, and a fishing guide.
At 13:04, RS 125 departed Ballstad and reached the accident site by 13:15. Crews rescued six people who had climbed on the overturned hull of the vessel. However, a young girl was still in the water. Diver Adrian Willyson Brask, 36, entered the sea to search for her.
