YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA speedboat packed with tourists slammed into a concrete post off the coast of Thailand, injuring at least 36 people — and officials say the boat’s captain may have dozed off shortly before the horrific crash.
Thirty-nine people — including visitors from Russia, Kazakhstan and China — were aboard the Thanathip Marine 555 when it struck a channel marker less than a half-mile from shore in the Chalong Bay on Wednesday, the Bangkok Post reported.
Photos show the destroyed bow of the boat resting against the marker as rescue crews helped dazed, bloodied passengers to the pier.
The group — which also included the boat’s driver, a tour guide and the driver’s assistant — was headed back from the Phi Phi islands when the crash occurred, the outlet reported.
Police are investigating whether the boat’s operator, Sathit Matchai, may have fallen asleep, and are awaiting test results on his blood-alcohol level.
