Vietnam Boat Accident: A deadly tourist tragedy has struck Vietnam’s famed Ha Long Bay as a boat carrying 48 passengers, including over 20 children, capsized during a sudden and violent thunderstorm. The Wonder Sea Boat was overwhelmed by fierce winds, lightning, and torrential rain, killing at least 37 people and leaving five still missing. The boat had departed during an active weather convergence zone, worsened by three consecutive days of scorching heat, creating a deadly cocktail of atmospheric instability.
Ten survivors were rescued, including a 14-year-old boy trapped in the hull for four hours. Authorities are now investigating potential violations as the nation mourns the loss. Vietnam’s Prime Minister has extended condolences, while rescue teams continue to search the wreckage. The area, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been struck by previous marine disasters, raising renewed questions about maritime safety protocols amid worsening climate conditions. Storm Wipha is now looming, threatening further chaos.
