The shipwreck in Phuket has sounded the alarm for maritime tourism. How to save yourself when the boat suddenly capsizes at sea?

2065438+On the afternoon of July 5, 2008 17: 45, two sightseeing boats sank in Phuket, Thailand. Specifically, two cruise ships carrying 133 tourists suddenly encountered severe storms on their way back to Phuket, resulting in serious capsizing accidents. Among them, there were 127 China tourists on board, but 16 people died, 33 people were missing and only 78 people were rescued. There is no doubt that sightseeing at sea is a pleasure. Everyone doesn't want to meet emergencies and bad weather. However, when we are unfortunately shipwrecked at sea, how can we save ourselves?

For people who fall into the sea in a sudden capsizing accident, drowning may happen whether they can swim or not, so no one should take chances and relax themselves to avoid more serious accidents. For drowning people who can't swim, don't panic when they fall into the sea. Don't panic and struggle in the water. This will only speed up the sinking. In addition, keep a clear head, relax your body, make your body surface as much as possible, and ensure smooth breathing. It's best to put your head back, keep your nose and mouth out of the water, and then wait for someone else's help. For swimmers, when they fall into the sea, they should carefully observe the surrounding situation. If there is a cruise ship nearby and it is close to them, they can choose to swim back directly for help. However, if there is no cruise ship nearby or the cruise ship is unstable, you should give up swimming back for help. Under the condition of ensuring your own safety, you should choose to stay where you are and save your strength and wait for others' help.

In addition, tourists should pay attention to the specific location of life jackets and lifeboats when boarding the ship, so that they can quickly find life jackets and lifeboats to abandon the ship and escape in case of an accident, and they should obey the arrangement of the staff and remember that life jackets should not leave.
