Summary
A speedboat carrying 32 Indian tourists and 4 crew capsized off southern Vietnam, killing 15 people just half a kilometer from shore. The vessel, returning from an island tour organized by an Indian electronics company, overturned shortly after leaving Hon May Rut Ngoai Island. Witnesses reported frantic cries for help, and nearby boats rushed to assist—but it was too late for many. All 15 victims have been recovered, 21 rescued, and the injured taken to hospitals. Local medical resources were reportedly lacking. Vietnam’s Prime Minister has launched a full safety review, while India’s Prime Minister offered condolences and pledged embassy support, as officials work to aid grieving families and repatriate the deceased. The tragedy underscores the urgent need for stronger maritime safety amid rising India-Vietnam tourism. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
