North Korean boat capsized off the coast of Lebanon
Two Bangladeshis were missing Monday after a North Korean registered cargo boat capsized off the coast of Lebanon, officials said. Rescue teams were alerted at dawn when residents in Khalde, south of Beirut, saw the 25-metre (82-foot) Mary capsize in rough seas. A civil defence team managed to fish three Georgians out of the sea, including the captain and two crew members, but two Bangladeshi sailors have been reported missing, the sources said. The boat capsized after wires got entangled in its propeller and was left badly damaged, according to the initial findings of an investigation. | Just happened to "snag" some wires in the prop, huh? |
The captain told police that the Mary left Port Said in Egypt for Latakia in Syria on Saturday. | Wonder what her cargo was? |
