The captain of the Summary off the coast of Thailand, on which there were 100 Russians, was wanted

Thai police are looking for a captain of a passenger ship, which crashed when there were many tourists on board. Among the injured are about a hundred Russians.

After the captain of the ferry, the captain will be charged. Eyewitnesses say that there were not enough life jackets for everyone, and the staff did not warn passengers about the accident, Komsomolskaya Pravda writes.

The arrest warrant issued the court by the Captain, explained to the police department of the province of Chonburi, on the territory of which there was a tragedy. Thai naval department began its own investigation.

According to the latest data, seven people died in a shipwreck. 209 passengers were saved, although at first it was reported that about 100 people were missing. At the moment, the fate of ten people who formed on board the ship has not been clarified.

Recall that the disaster happened on November 3, when the ferry "Koh Larn Travel 1" transported resort from the coral island of Ko-Lan to Pattaya. This path usually takes 45 - 50 minutes, but a quarter of an hour after departure (at about 17:30), technical problems began at the ship and it stopped.

It is assumed that a water flowing pump out of order was out of order. Water began to quickly enter the hold, writes The Pattaya Daily News newspaper. Then the captain asked the passengers to climb the upper deck.

The alarmed passengers rushed up, after which the ferry tilted on its side and sank at 18:00 500 meters from the shore.

According to the local police, there were over 200 people aboard, while the ferry is designed to transport 130 - 150 passengers. Therefore, one of the versions of the tragedy is an overload. In addition, on that day, there was a fairly great excitement at sea - waves of two -meter height were recorded.

Among the seven dead, three are Russians (47 -year -old Irina Ermilina and two men), one is the Chinese and three are Thai citizens. It is also known that about every second passenger of the ferry was a Russian tourist. Most of them were at first missing. At least among the patients of the Bangkok Hospital Pattaya hospital, where the victims were delivered after the crash, there were no Russian citizens.

"There are no Russians among our patients. After the steam collapse, nine Thai citizens received us. They have the necessary assistance," ITAR -TASS reports with reference to the representative of the clinic.

Other victims were sent to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital hospital. But there are only two citizens of Russia-66-year-old Sarghyan S. with the 12-year-old son of Petya.

"The child is in critical condition. He has the death of the brain. His mother is in a state of moderate severity. She has a dissection - an operation is required," the hospital said.

On Monday, the administration of a medical institution refused to provide any additional information about the victims.

It is known that 15 people are in serious condition. Among them is a 9 -year -old citizen of Thailand. It is also reported that four hospitalized are Russians.

We add that the search for bodies in the water was difficult to twilight. It is assumed that the ship sank so quickly that some did not even have time to evacuate with the covered and partially glazed lower deck of the vessel, and therefore went to the bottom with it.

On Monday, on Monday, the Navy academons continue to work on the site of the disaster.

Tourists were saved, clinging to the boxes from under the drinks

According to the Thai press, up to 100 people were injured as a result of the steam collapse. “Indeed, people could become bad after a long -term stay in the water. According to the available information, there were not enough rescue vests on the ship. Passengers kept afloat, who could, grabbing some boxes or other floating items,” said Andrei Daworstov, head of the consular department of the Russian embassy.

The police also confirmed the guilt of the captain and the ship's team, RIA Novosti reports. “All the victims say that the ship was very overloaded, while it did not have enough rescue circles and vests. There were especially not enough children's vests, and most passengers made up families with children,” said the head of the city police department, Colonel Suvan Chiaunavintkhavat.

He also added that in search of salvation, passengers clung to even foam boxes for ice and drinks, trying to stay afloat.

The death of compatriots was observed by Russians who fell on another ferry

According to the press, Sunday tragedy was the most terrible shipwreck in the history of tourism on the island of Pattaya.

Some Russians by pure chance avoided death, as they got to another ship. Lyudmila Makushina told Life News that a ferry with dozens of people on board went under the water right before her eyes.

“We did not hit this ferry by pure chance,” said Lyudmila. “It is a pity that those people who got there. Thanks to the operational services, many managed to save many. These once these boats swam, and 50 people carried it out.”

Those who are younger themselves jumped out of the boats, and elderly tourists were taken out in their arms. To save people, any boats were used.

“There were rubber boats and small boats. They were 10 pieces, taken out and swam behind the victims. And then we could not stand such stress and left,” added Lyudmila Makushina.

Treatment will be paid to those who have an insurance policy

According to the press secretary of the Rostourism of Irina Schegolkova, all victims of shipwreck can count on compensation for treatment costs if they have a medical insurance.

“It doesn’t matter on their own whether people bought tickets for a ferry or a tour of them organized a travel agency on their own. Moreover, it doesn’t matter how our citizens flew to Thailand - by tickets or themselves. The main thing is that they had an insurance policy,” added a representative of Rosturism.

However, Thailand for Russians is a visa -free country, and no one checks insurance at the entrance. Therefore, those who arrived there on their own could not take the insurance policy. By the way, almost all the Russians who sailed on the ill-fated ferry were “savages” tourists. At least, none of the Russian tour operators confirmed that among the victims there were their clients. This was announced by the Executive Director of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) Maya Lomidze.

“If there are no insurance policies, then there is only hope for the Ministry of Emergencies,” says Irina Schegolkova.

The cost of drowned cameras, expensive smartphones and other gone to the bottom along with a ferry of things will not reimburse, writes KP.

In order to provide the necessary consular support, employees of the Russian diplomatic mission were sent to Pattaya.
