A child has allegedly fallen in to the Thames at the Woolwich ferry with a major search underway now in case anyone local is wondering why all the activity.
Really hoping for a good outcome.
Not looking good. She went in on the north side of the river. News reports say local ambulance crews have been stood down, as the search continues.
I remember seeing a man jump off London Bridge many years ago. We were too far away to stop him, but ran to the spot and threw in one of the lifebuoys from the bridge. Unfortunately he was nowhere to be seen. Police arrived and told us the current is so strong that anyone going in there is unlikely to surface until well after Tower Bridge.

I did wonder. They had four boats and a helicopter searching.

When i was in the LFB i served for a time on the fireboat, when we were called out to jumpers we used to literally chase them whatever way the tide was going,unfortunately it was very rarely a good outcome,the speed of the tide on the Thames is unreal.

I have to admit that that day was a real wake up call to the power of the river.
