15 Indian tourists killed in Vietnam boat capsize

Hanoi, Jul 11: Fifteen Indian tourists were killed after the speedboat they were travelling in capsized off Vietnams Phu Quoc Island on Saturday, the Indian Embassy in Hanoi said. There were 36 people on board, including 32 Indian tourists and four local crew members, of which 21 were rescued. Phu Quoc, Vietnam's largest island, is a major tourist destination, known for its white-sand beaches, coral reefs and island-hopping excursions. The tourists in this case were reportedly returning from an island trip. The speedboat capsized about 400 metres off Hon May Rut Ngoai, an island in the An Thoi archipelago off the coast of Phu Quoc, Vietnamese news portal VN Express International reported. The report said nearby tourist boats rushed to pull passengers from the water before the border guards, the navy, the coast guard and other forces joined the search-and-rescue operation. It also quoted eyewitnesses saying some of the passengers were trapped inside the overturned boat, which made rescue difficult. The bodies of all the deceased tourists have been recovered, according to local media reports. Of the 15 victims, 10 were from Tamil Nadu, three were from Andhra Pradesh and two were from Kerala. Two of the deceased were women, according to a list shared by the Indian Embassy on X. A big wave hit us, 20 people came out of it, and the balance members got stuck, Nirmal Kumar, a survivor, told PTI Videos. It's a closed boat. Since we were on the front, we (Kumar and a friend) managed to survive. Others who were behind, got stuck. The boat authorities maintained proper safety measures, he said. Television footage aired by Vietnamese media showed rough seas and strong winds as rescue teams threw life buoys to people in the water, AP news agency reported. Jet skis were used to ferry survivors to the shore, where bystanders administered first aid to some of the victims, it said. The exact cause of the incident is yet to be ascertained. According to AP, Vietnamese Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has ordered an investigation into the cause of the accident and directed authorities to hold those responsible accountable. He also asked officials to review waterway and maritime safety measures in the area of the accident and other similar locations, the news agency reported. The Indian Embassy and Consulate in Vietnam are providing all possible assistance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a post on X. Extremely saddened to learn about the tragic news of a boat accident involving Indian nationals near Phu Quoc, Vietnam, PM Modi said. My sincere condolences to the families who lost their loved ones.
