On the night of July 19 - early morning of July 20, functional forces of Quang Ninh province persistently carried out rescue work in the capsized ship QN 7105 in Ha Long Bay.
According to Dan Tri reporter at 1:00 a.m. on July 20, at Bai Chay Lighthouse Port, about 6-7 ambulances were on standby at this location, with their doors open to welcome the unfortunate victims who were rescued to shore.
Updated at 2am, authorities have rescued 11 people, recovered 38 bodies, the rest are still missing. Ship QN-7105 departed from Ha Long International Passenger Port to visit Ha Long Bay with 48 passengers, all Vietnamese, and 5 crew members.
Rescue work was deployed from the early afternoon of July 19, with the participation of the Quang Ninh Provincial Border Guard, Quang Ninh Provincial Police, the Ministry of Public Security ...
At the scene of the accident, about 30 divers were mobilized to participate in the search, including forces: Mine Rescue - TKV, Fire Prevention and Fighting and Rescue Police Department; Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department (Quang Ninh Provincial Police); Ha Long Bay Management Board...
The water task force is also actively reviewing, surveying, and quickly deploying measures to search for all victims during the night. According to the direction plan, the forces will determine the flow to narrow down the search area.
In total, nearly 1,000 people from various units and more than 100 vehicles participated in the search for the missing victims. Many local fishermen who are familiar with the waterways also participated in the search.
According to the hydrometeorological agency, the cause of the heavy thunderstorms this afternoon in the North and the Gulf of Tonkin is due to the influence of the tropical convergence zone with an axis passing through the North, combined with the high temperature conditions in the North in the past 3 days, causing strong updrafts in the unstable conditions of the atmosphere, causing heavy thunderstorms.
The aftermath of the storm on the afternoon of July 19 made many Quang Ninh residents think of storm Yagi in 2024.
Many people gathered overnight at the Bai Chay Lighthouse area to wait for news from the rescue team and pray for a miracle for the victims of the capsized tourist boat in the Green Bay.
On the evening of July 19, immediately after receiving information that a tourist boat had sunk in the Ti Top island area, Quang Ninh province, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha directly went to direct the rescue work.
He directed the forces to "give the highest priority to rescuing survivors and ensuring the search for missing people as soon as possible", but also to ensure absolute safety for rescue forces.
