Speedboats collision on Koh Samui, Thailand BREAKING NEWS: 2 missing, 39 injured

Gelezen:

There are more than 30 ambulances and rescue vehicles at Petcherat, also many police.

I hear two boats were speeding along in the storm and hit each other due to reduced visibility from the rain.

Maybe as many as 50-70 on the two boats.

The water is very rough I hope they have jackets on, I can't see how a wooden boat moving at speed, hitting another at equal speed could be anything other than obliterated.

I know a few going tonight, hope they are ok......
*****************

I was there 20 mins ago, loads of rescue waiting, I bumped into a friend he told me all he knew which wasn't much and often in these early stages not accurate, I can say he said 67 people on the two boats 7 bodies recovered and on their way back, now I must stress this could easily be 7 people recovered on their way back safely, like I said it's two early to tell and often info is very unreliable I've left the scene, just before I got home though I stopped at 7/11, three ambulances rushed past heading back towards hospitals, (maybe the first brough back to dry land), 5 mins later they were on their way back to the scene, passing me by my house, near the hospitals. With 30 odd ambulances, going back they will be end of the Q, so they must be expecting extra work.

Ambulances and police arriving from all directions, it looks like every ambulance on the island is there plus many rescue.

Vis is poor, it is very rough, and being full moon the tide will be very strong between the two shallow islands.

This could be real bad.........

Dit is een drama.
Ben bang dat het dodenaantal flink stijgt.
