Retired Crew Saves Three from Sinking Boat | Vancouver News

In a heart-stopping rescue off Canada’s coast, a retired airline couple saved three lives from drowning amid 2.5-meter waves, using their dinghy as a makeshift raft—while six others remain missing. The vessel, a Chinese-owned aluminum boat captained by a 23-year-old, sank after two massive waves flooded it, leaving no time to call for help. The rescuers, Brian Angus and Dorothy Stauffer, leveraged decades of emergency training to pull survivors—hypothermic and barely coherent, one woman managing to say “help”—to safety before Coast Guard arrived. Now, the search has turned to recovery as Canada’s Transportation Safety Board investigates. The heroes, humble and shaken, are seeking counseling but say they simply did what had to be done to save lives.
