Default Has morse code saved any lives recently?

There was recently a thread here on the subject of whether morse had
saved any lives recently. Well it has in the UK!

Have a look at

"Torch used in Morse code rescue.
Coastguards in Hampshire have rescued a sailor who used his torch to
flash an SOS message in Morse code."
