We were called to a possible person in the water between Tower and Greenwich after it was suspected that a passenger had either fallen or jumped from the Aurora Clipper. The boat was on scene within four minutes of being tasked and started a hasty search before being joined by police boats and a helicopter. The crew of the Clipper reviewed their CCTV footage and confirmed that a male had jumped overboard as the boat was passing Wapping. Despite an extensive search, no trace of the man was found. As the search was coming to an end at 2112, the lifeboat was diverted to a female reported unconscious onboard the Salient at Crown Pier. The lifeboat arrived on scene and the crew found that the woman was not on the boat, but was in fact lying against the railings on the pier.
She was found to be unresponsive and unable to maintain her airway and so was treated appropriately and a request for an ambulance was made. Her friends told the crew that she was only 17, had been drinking alcohol and had taken an unknown quantity of LSD. She was given free flow oxygen and her airway was maintained whilst her other vital signs were monitored. After about four minutes, she started to gag so the airway was removed and the casualty vomited. Shortly after, LAS arrived on scene and once the girl was in an ambulance, the lifeboat returned to station.
