Jet’s voyage to Sligo no plane sailing for Anton Savage

For broadcaster Anton Savage, the arrival of a barge carrying a disused Boeing 767 into Enniscrone, Co Sligo was not all ‘plane’ sailing.

The Today FM presenter narrowly avoided plunging into the ocean as he was spreadeagled in a leap between two vessels.

A finger-tip grasp of a bow rail on the receiving vessel in a two-metre swell prevented him toppling into the ocean.
