Saved before Sumatra – all night in the shipwreck in the sea swam in the sea

Date:

In Indonesia, 18 shipweaked people were saved in the Indian Ocean, including three children. “Some are injured, but they are now safe,” said the head of the local disaster protection. Several of the rescued people swam all night.

Her boat was capsized on Monday morning for the Mentawai Islands with high waves. The people on board were mainly things in the city of Tuapejat. “Two of them, the boat operators, had one compass and helped the other to find their way,” the district head told local media. Some would have held on to life jackets or improvised swimming aids.

Several rescued people dragged all night and tried to reach the nearest island. Teams feverishly searched for the missing. They discovered the first on Monday, most only after more than 24 hours on Tuesday.

Here you can see a message for the boot accident:

Indonesia is highly dependent on ferry and boat traffic. However, there are always concerns about safety at sea, accidents are common on the largest island state in the world. It was not until the beginning of July that a ferry with 65 passengers and crew members had fallen between Java and Bali. Slightly less than half survived.
