This audio captured the moment a man crossing the Channel with his family sent out an SOS message pleading for help. The man, whose voice has been distorted in this clip to protect his identity, can be heard speaking as a baby cries in the background, and calling for assistance as sea water began entering their small boat. 
'We have children and a family in the boat,' he said in a message sent just before 3am on Wednesday. It is unclear if the man in the recording was rescued.
