However, the surviving Associated Press agency said the Associated Press aged quickly covered the storm that brought high wind and poured rain.
Tuan said the passengers asked for a ship to turn back to the shore, but the crew assured them that they were almost at the destination and kept the ship moving forward.
“It was raining for about 15 minutes, and then the ship began to shake intensely, the tables and chairs rushed around and a few seconds later the ship rolled over,” said a 36 -year -old fire extinguisher. “The water threw itself and I lost all the orientation.”
“I tried to breathe. But more water came inside. I took a deep breath, got rid of my life vests and pigeon.
Tuan and several other people survived by sticking to the overturned ship and her propeller and waiting for another two hours before the rain stopped and rescuers arrived.
Wonder’s seafood was later towed on the shipyard for investigation. The pictures showed a container with broken windows, damaged roof and broken railing because the police and officials examined the scene.
According to Vnexpress, rescue teams recovered 11 survivors, although one later died in the hospital for injury. Nine others of the group died, including a man who traveled with his wife and three -year -old son, who also drowned.
Meanwhile, a tropical storm called Wipha is approaching the region.

The Vietnamese National Meteorological Service predicted that the storm could make a landfall along the north coast next week, including Ha Long Bay.
