After entering the West Sea tidal flat without a mobile phone in the middle of the night, an isolated tourist saved his life in his life thanks to the residents passing by.
According to the Ministry of the Maritime Affairs and the Chungnam Fire Department on the 11th, at about 10:51 pm on the 10th, a husband in his 60s who was collecting shellfish near the Eosari marina in Hongseong-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, fell into the tidal flat without knowing the tide.
At the time, his wife was also isolated on the breakwater.
It was found that those who had visited the West Sea of the tourist car left their cell phones in their vehicles and made a request for rescue by yelling out loud, "Please save me".
When a resident who was walking in the neighborhood heard a cry and called 112, rescuers moved to crawl and swam to rescue a man about 20 meters away from the breakwater.
The wife, who was on the breakwater, was also aboard a private rescue ship and moved to the hospital.
They are said to have no harm in life.
A maritime affairs official said, "The man at the bottom of the breakwater was submerged in water except for his face."
Prior to this, at around 9:27 last night, campers in their 30s were trapped in the tide at Gaetbawi near Gom Island in Taean-gun.
The Taean Coast Guard moored the coastal rescue boat near the seashore and then went directly into the water to take out the isolated people.
At around 3:3 p.m. before this, the 60s who were fishing on the seashore near Mineo-do, Taean-gun were pulled out of the shore by the seascape.
A maritime affairs official said, "When you are engaged in marine leisure activities such as tidal wave or sea fishing, be sure to check the tide time of the tide and when the ebb tide is," he said. "We also ask you to follow essential safety rules such as wearing a life jacket."
