부안 앞바다 어선 전복...3명 사망
Another boat accident, this time here in South Korea... a fishing boat capsized early this morning in waters off South Korea's west coast, killing three sailors.
It happened near Buan County, where the Coast Guard received a report at around 6 AM saying that a roughly 8-ton boat had overturned.
One sailor from Vietnam was rescued by another fishing boat in the area, and he said the ship had capsized the night before.
The cause of the accident is under investigation, but reports say the wind at the time was not particularly strong.
