Tragic Boat Accident in Ha Long Bay 😢

Hi everyone, we have some sad news to share. In Vietnam’s beautiful Ha Long Bay, a tourist boat called the Wonder Sea capsized during a sudden thunderstorm on Saturday afternoon.

The boat was carrying 48 passengers and 5 crew members, all from Vietnam. Sadly, 37 people have been confirmed dead, and 5 people are still missing. 🙏

But amidst this tragedy, there was a bit of hopeful news. A 14-year-old boy was rescued after being trapped inside the overturned boat for four hours! 🎉

Rescue workers have saved 11 people so far. They are working hard to find the missing passengers.

The boat capsized because of strong winds during the thunderstorm. A big tropical storm called Storm Wipha is also heading toward the area and is expected to arrive next week.

Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those affected by this terrible accident. ❤️
