Parasailing Unfall auf Boracay

[PT-Team]

Traurige Nachrichten von Boracay. Parasailing fordert 2 Todesopfer und einen Schwerverletzten.

Im folgenden der Auszug aus den Panaynews:


Two Koreans died while one was seriously injured in a parasailing accident on Friday in this resort island.

PO3 Recie Bulanon said the Koreans were parasailing when strong winds and rains struck them around 11 a.m.

Bulanon said Sung Ji An (female), 25, is in a critical condition in an undisclosed hospital in Iloilo.

Those who died were Kim Sang Wou (male), 25, and Jong Mi Kyoung (female), 23.

They were rescued by the staff of Jals Sea Sports, a Korean establishment where they rented the parasailing equipment.

Last August 4, Korean national Lee Woon Hyung, owner of the Isla Bora Hotel and stockholder of the Boracay Water World, Inc., also died in a parasailing accident after strong winds slammed him to a coconut tree.

In July, a motor banca from Boracay carrying 20 laborers and a female Korean capsized at sea due to a twister.

These incidents are reportedly the result of the erratic weather due to climate change.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources Regional Technical Director for Research Dr. Alicia Lustica said stakeholders, residents and the government must now seriously consider the reality of the climate change issue to prevent accidents in this island.

Das ganze auf Klimawechsel zu schieben ist meiner Meinung nach absoluter Schwachsinn. Es hat wohl mehr was mit nicht wirklich ausgebildeten Betreibern, schlechter Wartung des Equipments und falscher Beurteilung der Wetterlage zu tun.

Unser Mitgefühl den Angehörigen der Verunfallten
