<Reporter> A
fishing boat that is completely overturned appears in rough waves and sinks repeatedly.
If there are any survivors, the rescuers hit the fishing boat with a hammer, but they are quickly swept away by the waves.
It was about 6:50 yesterday that the ship, which had departed around 3 am for red crab hunting, was reported to be sinking in the sea about 42 km east of Gampo-eup, Gyeongju.
The overturned ship was found after two and a half hours of search, but six people, including the captain and crew, were not yet found.
Family members of the missing are lamented.
[Missing Captain's brother: You're only looking at the sky right now.
I like me so quickly...
Anyway, get people early, in this cold winter…
I can't find it.]
At the time of the flooding, there were two Koreans, three Vietnamese sailors, and one Chinese Korean on board.
The maritime police mobilized maritime ships and aircraft to search for the missing persons, but the search was difficult due to the high waves of up to 5 meters in the area where a storm warning was issued.
[Woo Tae-kyung/Pohang Maritime Police Station PR: The ship is still not working because the weather is bad, and the sea search continues.
Because of strong winds and high waves...
.] The
storm warning issued on the East Sea is expected to be lifted the day after tomorrow, so it is expected that the search process will continue to be difficult.
