Celebrity Cruises: Celebrity Century
built 778 days ago
The 450-pound passenger was sailing on the Celebrity Century near the coast of Scotland over the weekend when he fell ill and required evacuation. The BBC says the Scottish Coast Guard quickly realized he weighed too much to be transferred to land by lifeboat -- its usual rescue proceedure. That prompted a call to the Royal Air Force to borrow a Sea King helicopter.
