Three fishermen missing after trawler overturns

Three Dutch fishermen are missing, presumed drowned, after their trawler capsized off the coast of Dunkirk on Tuesday night.


Ships, helicopters and divers have been involved in the search for the men, two brothers aged 27 and 22 and their cousin aged 20.
Rescue workers say their chances of survival is slim, considering the low water temperature.
