Two injured men in the UAE were airlifted and taken to hospital in separate incidents at the weekend.

An Emirati man, 30, was airlifted from Al Maya Island in Abu Dhabi and was taken to Sheikh Khalifa Medical City on Friday after he injured his back.

The National Search and Rescue Centre and Abu Dhabi Police carried out a joint operation to rescue him.

The NSRC shared a video of the rescue mission on its Instagram page.

“The search and rescue team was able to evacuate the injured person to Sheikh Khalifa Medical City to receive the necessary treatment while ensuring that all precautionary and preventive measures related to the coronavirus are in place," the NSRC said.

On Saturday, an Asian man in his 20s, was taken to Al Qassimi Hospital in Sharjah after being severely injured in a traffic accident in Ajman’s Al Manama area.

The National Ambulance asked for help from the Ministry of Interior’s Air Wing department to move the injured man to the nearest hospital.‎

“An air ambulance helicopter rushed to the crash site in co-operation with National Ambulance, and the injured person was airlifted to Al Qassimi Hospital in Sharjah," the ministry said.

Four stars

Sun jukebox

Rufus Thomas, Bear Cat (The Answer to Hound Dog) (1953)

This rip-off of Leiber/Stoller’s early rock stomper brought a lawsuit against Phillips and necessitated Presley’s premature sale to RCA.

Elvis Presley, Mystery Train (1955)

The B-side of Presley’s final single for Sun bops with a drummer-less groove.

Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two, Folsom Prison Blues (1955)

Originally recorded for Sun, Cash’s signature tune was performed for inmates of the titular prison 13 years later.

Carl Perkins, Blue Suede Shoes (1956)

Within a month of Sun’s February release Elvis had his version out on RCA.

Roy Orbison, Ooby Dooby (1956)

An essential piece of irreverent juvenilia from Orbison.

Jerry Lee Lewis, Great Balls of Fire (1957)

Lee’s trademark anthem is one of the era’s best-remembered – and best-selling – songs.
