Dramatic moment a lifeboat crew lasso speedboat

This was the dramatic moment a lifeboat crew carolled a runaway speedboat by LASSOING it - with a perfect rodeo-style throw. Pensioner Peter Channing, 66, was trying to tie up his boat when he accidentally knocked the throttle and was thrown overboard. Peter had already taken off his kill chord - a safety device that attaches to the skipper's leg and yanks out the ignition key if he falls in. With the engine still running the six-metre speedboat, Lazydaze, began to circle Devon's Teignmouth Quay, threatening to cut Peter up with its propellers. The frightening incident echoed the shocking death of TV executive Nick Milligan, 51, and his eight-year-old daughter Emily, who were both run over and killed by their runaway boat in May last year.
