April sixteenth, 2014, there was tragic accident in Korea. The Sewol Ferry sunk to deep ocean and many people lose their life. Lately, there was accident which is called to second Sewol Ferry accident in China.
In June first, 2015, Dongfangjeusing Ferry sank in to the middle of Yangjeu river at 9 and half pm. Dongfangjeusing Ferry is the cruise ship that length is 76.5m and width is 11m. There were 410 passengers and 46 crew members in the Dongfangjeusing Ferry. During the sailing, Dongfangjeusing Ferry met strong whirlwind and overturned fastly. Fiducially to June sixth, 9 pm, 406 people passed away and 36 people disappeared. Only 14 people alive from this accident.
There are some reasons to make the situation degenerate. First, the captin and crew members of Dongfangjeusing Ferry receive warnig seven times but they keep sailing. Also, the captin run away when the ferry incline alone and inform the accident in 4 am. It means captin inform the accident when 6 hour and half past. And the spot of accident is murky and the speed of a running fluid is fast so people had difficulty to progress the relif work. What's worse, during the relif work, the climate was bad. China used 1,000 rescue worker, 140 people to submergence and 40 ships but they can't work easily because of these things. Last, Dongfangjeusing Ferry did remodeling like Sewol Ferry.
June fifth, China's authority judgement to there are no more sirvivor and decide to recover the Dongfangjeusing Ferry.
Dongfangjeusing Ferry's accident is obviously big accident. In less than one year and half from Sewol Ferry sunk, the big accident occured again. These accident should not occured, and should not occur again. |
