Boys Rescued from Blackpool Tide | Liverpool News
Description
Two boys, ten-year-old Subby and his twelve-year-old cousin Kizza, were nearly swept away by a sudden tide near Blackpool’s pier—clinging to stanchions for forty minutes as waves crashed over them. Their mother, Zully, watched helplessly as her son vanished beneath the water. Her older son, Ted, bravely tried to reach them, clinging to the pier himself. A bystander’s 999 call triggered a lightning-fast RNLI rescue—lifeboat crews arrived in just four minutes, pulling both boys and Ted to safety. Zully called their survival a miracle, now dedicating herself to raising awareness about coastal dangers, especially as school holidays begin. The RNLI urges everyone to carry a charged phone and stay afloat by moving limbs to regain control and call for help.
