Search goes on for missing crewman

A FISHERMAN last night described his desperate fight for survival after his boat sank in the Irish Sea, leaving his best friend missing.

Shane Murnaghan, 28, said he was thrown into the water as he checked lobster pots off the Co Down coast.

From his hospital bed in the Isle of Man, he described seeing his stricken friend Colin Donnelly seconds before he himself climbed to safety.
