A small boat with two people aboard was dramatically rescued after it drifted to the very brink of a massive dam.
The vessel suffered a complete motor failure, leaving it powerless. Strong currents then carried it perilously close to the dam's spillway edge.
Emergency crews performed a high-stakes operation to pull the sailors to safety. Neither occupant was injured.
The incident highlights the dangers of mechanical failure near major water infrastructure. An investigation into the cause is ongoing.
