Man Trapped On Barge, Rescued By BFP - Marikina River

[KeithD]

During the typhoon, a number of barges broke loose on the Marikina River, and crashed into a bridge. Some sank. A man was seen on one of the barges, luckily for him, the BFP managed to rescue him after 8 hours, even though the barge he was on was partly submerged.
