rescue

Istanbul-bound Turkish ship Medy, carrying scrap iron, sank Tuesday around noon off the Romanian Black Sea Coast despite rescue teams’ efforts to save it after the entire crew had been rescued.

A Romanian tourist who got lost in the Australian desert was rescued after six days when he managed to contact his family in Romania on his mobile phone, The Age reported.

Rescuers brought up the bodies of four of the eight Romanian miners who perished in the Petrila mine, Hunedoara county prefect Aurel Pricajan announced.

The first nine dogs trained in avalanche victim search and rescue will enter service with the Romanian Gendarmerie starting with next Friday, after being trained for five weeks in the Sinaia Gendarmerie Training Center.
