Searching on tynemouth pier ??

[david.northeast]

Was on shields pier last night and heard quite a few lads from the middle of tynemouth pier shouting on i thought it was another good fish caught but 10 mins later the lifeboat came flying out with its search lights on. He then came over to ssp looking aswell, after a couple of minutes of searching he went away but a search team went along tynemouth pier on foot, the lifeboat was asking has anyone jumped fro SSP. I hopethat if someone did jump in hes safe and sound.
Can anyone shine a light as to the facts of what went on last night

I was fishing the Whitley open on Saturday night, around 9 o clock the helicopter and life boat was out, only for 20 minutes, searching around the piers.
