(Baonghean.vn)- After 3 days, all search efforts have not yet found the bodies of the father and son in the boat sinking incident at the auxiliary dam lake, Dong Van commune (Que Phong).

Que Phong district rescue team is actively searching.

The boat sinking incident occurred at the auxiliary dam of Hua Na hydropower plant at 12:00 on March 28, in Pieng Van village, Dong Van commune (Que Phong), leaving two victims missing. The local rescue force immediately organized a search, but still had no results. In the early morning of March 29, Que Phong People's Committee mobilized 30 more officers and soldiers from the army (belonging to the district military command), the district police brought rescue canoes to the scene along with security forces, Dong Van commune militia and a diving team from Ha Tinh to search for nearly 6 hours but still had no results. By the morning of March 30, the owner of the boat that had the accident hired a professional diving team in Quynh Luu with the hope of finding all the victims. However, at 6 p.m. the same day, divers said that the diving team had done their best but by the morning of March 31, they still had not found the boat and the bodies of the two victims.

People are still waiting for news.

Mr. Luong Van Duc, Deputy Police Chief of Dong Van Commune, said: Because the area where the boat sank is too large and over 30 meters deep, the bottom of the lake is full of trees and tangled vines, making it very difficult to find the boat and the bodies of the two victims.
