A Massachusetts woman recently helped rescue the three crew members of a sinking fishing boat, all while on a Zoom call.

The doomed vessel caught the woman’s eye while she was on a conference call from her third-floor apartment, which features views over Massachusetts Bay.

Although figuring authorities were likely on the case, the woman excused herself from the call and dialled 911, and it was not a moment too soon.

As it turns out, no-one else on shore had noticed, and the lives of the trio were saved.
