As reported by Nghe An Newspaper, on the morning of April 23, a group of four tourists went to Cua Lo beach to swim early, unfortunately, there was a strong wind and big waves, so the tourists were swept away, with a high risk of drowning.

Luckily, at that time, two brothers, Dau Minh Yen and Dau Khac Binh, Vinh Tan block, Nghi Huong ward, were preparing to go out to sea when they saw this dangerous situation. The two immediately called out to everyone and rowed a sampan out to sea to rescue the four tourists. Then, together with the locals, they gave first aid on the spot and took them to the town's General Hospital for emergency treatment. Currently, the four tourists have recovered and returned home safely.
