Investigating the scene of the collapse of a floating restaurant on Vinh Hy Bay

The professional departments of Ninh Thuan Provincial Police continued to be present to examine the scene of the collapsed restaurant and take additional statements from related people.

Regarding the collapse of a floating restaurant in Vinh Hy Bay, Ninh Thuan Province, causing hundreds of people to fall into the sea, killing 2 and injuring 4, after the ban by the Ninh Thuan Provincial People's Committee, on the morning of July 24, floating restaurants in Vinh Hy Bay were pulled closer to shore. More than a dozen glass-bottomed boats carrying tourists to see the bay and coral reefs were also forced to anchor and were not allowed to take passengers off the dock. Border Guards and Waterway Traffic Police are on duty at the dock to enforce the ban.

Many forces are on duty in Vinh Hy Bay after the floating restaurant collapsed.

Today, the professional departments of Ninh Thuan Provincial Police continued to investigate the scene of the collapsed restaurant and take more statements from related people. The investigation encountered many difficulties because the collapsed part was still submerged in water.

Ninh Thuan police inspected the glass-bottom boat NT-0013 this morning.

Another police team also examined the traces on the glass-bottomed boat with the registration number NT-0013. This boat is believed to have collided with the Vinh Tien seafood floating restaurant before the restaurant collapsed.

Most of the floors of Vinh Tien seafood rafts are still submerged in water.

Previously, at 10:43 a.m. on July 23, the Vinh Tien seafood raft was hosting about 300 tourists for a meal when it suddenly collapsed, causing hundreds of passengers to fall into the water. At this time, all vehicles on Vinh Hy Bay and local fishermen promptly rescued the tourists. Among them, 2 people unfortunately died, 4 people were seriously injured and had to be taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Today, many tourists came to visit but were not allowed to go out to the bay.

It is known that the seafood raft of Vinh Tien Tourism Company is 600 square meters wide and does not have a license to operate a floating restaurant as prescribed. The People's Committee of Ninh Thuan province said it is focusing on clarifying and handling the responsibilities of each relevant department and locality for lacking strict management of this activity./.
