Article 12: Two missing after Thames boat capsizes



Summary

Yesterday evening a small boat, with 6 people on board, capsized on the river Thames in Surrey. Four people, three women and one man, were rescued and taken to the nearby hospital Frimley Park. They had just minor injuries. Two men are still missing and feared to dead. Police and rescue services were started extensive searches immediately, including the use of a police helicopter. Unfortunately there were no signs of the two missing men. Teams of divers were to begin looking for them today. The other rescue teams are continuing the search of the two men today as well. The search is not covered by the coastguard service, because the stretch of the river is not tidal.




Response

I am wondering why the boat capsized on the river. It is horrible to be on that boat while the accident happened, especially when you also know the two missing men. I hope the rescue teams will find them alive, but I think there is no big change at all. It is cold outside, so the two men will be super cooled very fast. Fortunately the other four people had no big injuries.
