Is there anybody there? Can anybody hear me?

Senior Constable Ian Bembridge heard these faint calls for help come across the radio as the sun was setting on a cold winter’s afternoon. 

He and his partner embarked on a race against time to locate and rescue a father and his twin nine-year-old boys from their sinking vessel. 

You’ll hear how a set of extraordinary coincidences helped police in their search and rescue efforts that day.
