webfact Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Picture: Daily News Daily News reported that late last night the search for a couple missing since their tug and cargo barges capsized in the Chao Phraya river in Ayutthaya was suspended. Experts with scanning equipment are expected on the scene today where tug vessel CPI 77 went down outside Wat Phanan Choeng. Missing are Somchai, 64, who was driving and his wife Nareumol, 51 who was steering. The accident happened when very fast moving water was coming out of the Pasak River into the Chao Phraya where the two rivers meet. Harbor authorities said that all traffic passing the area had been halted to avoid another accident. They stressed that it was very dangerous and that human life must take precedence over economic activity. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-09-30 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jen65 Posted September 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2021 As a professional retired Master Mariner I watched the video of this accident and it was fairly evident that the term "girding" was never taught to the boat skipper !! Lack of seamanship, lack of marine qualifications and probable lack of training . Marine accidents will continue just as the atrocious road accidents do !!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
