Rescue officials have found the submerged wreckage of the boat which capsized yesterday on the Chao Phraya-Pasak River, in front of Phanan Choeng Worawihan Temple in Ayutthaya, and divers are still searching for two missing people.

 

According to Thai PBS reporters, the brother of the missing woman has identified the location of the boat, which is 50 metres from where the boat foundered.

 

He got permission from the Marine Department and rescue officials to use two tugboats to comb the river until he found what believes is the vessel on the river bed.

This little stunt.

 

RIP.

Couldn't have been very hard to find !  He saw it go down, so it would be a little bit downstream from where it disappeared. Not exactly rocket science is it ? Well, maybe in Thailand !

Nice manoeuvre, what could possibly go wrong .

What's wrong with you people? Two people died there. ????

A stunt is the wrong word I think , a stunt implies it was intentional, the word “disaster” is more apt .

The boat was caught where the Chao Phraya and Pasak rivers converge , the excessive volume of water caused the tugboat to capsize.

You can clearly see the female victim unaware she is seconds from death.

 

RIP Somchai and Naruemo

My first reaction when seeing something like this would be to STOP filming and look to see if there was anything I could do to help. 

 

An insensitive troll post and the inflammatory replies have been removed.

Not everyone is as big a hero as you are, unfortunately.  What would you have done to assist averting this disaster in the 10 seconds you'd have had before it sinks when you weren't equipped for a capsising tug boat to be suddenly heading towards you?   Perhaps she did stop filming when the video stops.

Full speed in reverse while attempting a tight turn played no part then?

My (limited) experience driving boats was that reverse was extremely dangerous under all conditions.
