“Person under water”
The Danube Canal was bathed in a sea of blue light as rescuers apparently searched for a person in the water. As the rescue team of “Krone” confirmed, a “person under water” was reported at 19:45 at the Friedensbrücke. The fire brigade also received an alarm: seven vehicles, boats and the ÖAMTC helicopter were quickly brought to the water.
