Previously, on the morning of November 15, a group of 9 people (including the boatman, all residing in Huong So ward) traveled on a boat from Huong So apartment complex to Phu Hau wholesale market (Hue city). On the way back, at around 9am, the flood water rose rapidly, reaching the deep flooded section at Hau Dam - Dao River with strong currents, the boat unfortunately capsized.
Mr. Thuy pointed to the location of the 3 people swept away by the flood.
Teacher Le Ngoc Thuy recalled: “At that time, it was raining heavily and flood water was rising in the whole Thua Thien Hue province in general and Hue city in particular. At that time, I was clearing the flood at my house in Alley 249 Dang Tat, Huong Vinh ward, and heard people shouting for help, “Help, help! Someone is drowning, folks”. At that moment, I ran out and saw some people struggling in the fast-flowing flood water. I swam out to successfully rescue 3 people to shore. After that, I continued to swim out to rescue more people, but due to the fast-flowing water and heavy rain, I could not find them. The boat capsized, killing 2 mothers and children, Ms. Huynh Thi Bi (Ly), 42, and Nguyen Thi Hang, 18.”
