17 hours
A compelling story of courage, survival and, in the end, tragedy.
Three men are fishing in a runabout three kilometres off the coast
when their boat is swamped by a freak wave. They are thrown into
the water and the boat sinks. Night sets in, then the cold, and
then hypothermia. The search for the fishermen is botched and
called off for the night. They spend the next 17 hours in a
courageous battle against the sea. SUNDAY asks what went wrong. Did
one man have to die?
The boy who could not eat
Devon McQueen, just five, had never tasted the delights of
ice-cream, chocolate or lemonade. He doesn't have an intestine, and
doesn't get any nutritional benefit from eating. Devon spends up to
12 hours a day hooked up to an intravenous feeding machine to stay
alive. Regardless, the prognosis is poor and he needs a
transplant... but it's a dangerous, rare and complex procedure. On
SUNDAY, a small boy's inspirational fight for life.
Caught short
Most airlines are rolling out creative strategies for luring
passengers and generating revenue, but none beats the canny Irish
cheapie airline, Ryanair. It's the master of discretionary charges
- you might pay a pittance for the ticket, but Ryanair charges for
every simple amenity once considered standard. Now it plans to
charge for using the loo at 30,000 feet and remain the cheapest
airline in the world...
