"Within 3 Minutes, It Flipped", Recalls Vietnam Boat Tragedy Survivor
A survivor of the recent Vietnam boat tragedy has provided a harrowing account of how the vessel capsized almost immediately after departure. Nirmal Kumar described the vessel flipping within three minutes, leaving passengers with almost no time to react.
Nirmal Kumar, a survivor of the maritime incident, detailed how the boat went upside down within just three minutes of boarding. According to his account, the vessel had traveled barely 300 meters from the shore before it suddenly lost stability and flipped over.
The rapid nature of the accident prevented many on board from accessing safety equipment or preparing for the immersion. Emergency response efforts were initiated shortly after the capsize, though the survivor highlighted the extreme speed at which the situation turned critical.
Authorities are currently investigating the factors that led to the sudden capsizing, including potential overcrowding or mechanical failure. Kumar’s testimony is expected to assist investigators in reconstructing the timeline of the tragedy. Source: Nirmal Kumar via news agencies.
