A memorial cruise to commemorate the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic has been forced to turn back after a cameraman suffered a suspected heart attack, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Tim Rex, 56, was believed to need medical treatment and a rescue helicopter was sent to the ship, MS Balmoral, which stopped off at the Irish port of Cobh.

泰坦尼克纪念之旅被迫返航

       据英国《每日电讯报》报道,纪念“泰坦尼克号”沉没百年的重温之旅因一名摄影记者疑似心脏病发作,游轮被迫返航。

       现年56岁的蒂姆·雷克斯急需医疗救治,直升机被派往爱尔兰科夫港,即“巴尔莫勒尔号”停靠处接人。

       策划本次航程的迈尔斯摩根旅行社主管迈尔斯·摩根表示,目前还无法确定这次事件是否会延误游轮按原计划抵达“泰坦尼克号”出事地点,为遇难者举行纪念仪式。
