Title: Tragedy at dragon boat festival Post by: puppy on November 25, 2007, 10:50:26 AM Nov 25 - Search teams in Cambodia have recovered the bodies of five Singaporean rowers who drowned after their dragon boat capsized during a race.
The five were part of a crew of 22 people and were rowing back to the starting line of the 1.5 km race on Friday (November 23) when a sudden wave caused their boat to overturn. Seven other members of the Singaporean team were taken to hospital. The team were not wearing life jackets.

but proves yet again why no one who can't swim should even contemplate going out on the water without a PFD... even in something as big as a DB. |
