Ms. He, the leader of the Chinese travel agency of Li Yuheng’s tour group, told the Chengdu Business Daily reporter in detail about the itinerary and the moment of the incident yesterday. "At that time, the weather suddenly changed. I ran from the bow to the stern and called everyone to hurry ashore.

Thai Marine Police confirmed:
The crew started the engine rashly, causing an accident.
Yesterday morning, Li Yuheng’s uncle Yao told the Chengdu Business Daily reporter by SMS that the Thai Marine Police had confirmed to them that the accident was caused by the crew of the cruise ship rushing to start the engine, which caused Li Yuheng, who had just swam back to the cruise ship, to be sucked into the propeller by the powerful suction of the propeller. As a result, the femoral arteries of Li Yuheng’s legs were cut off and the blood loss reached 95%.
Subsequently, Yao introduced on the phone that on the afternoon of the 9th, with the assistance of the local consulate of China in Thailand, the relevant local authorities in Thailand had organized them to have a dialogue with the cruise company. "At the meeting, we mainly talked about matters related to the return of the child’s body and compensation." Yao said that at present, the two sides have agreed that the insurance of travel companies and cruise companies and another compulsory insurance, totaling more than 2 million baht, will be paid before they return to China. "As for death compensation, we put forward our own requirements according to the domestic compensation standards, but the other party has not yet replied."
Ms. He, the leader of the Chinese travel agency of Li Yuheng’s tour group, also confirmed that after negotiation, the insurance of the travel company and the company where the cruise ship is involved will each pay 1 million baht, and the other "compulsory insurance" will pay 100,000 baht, totaling 2.1 million baht. "Others are still under discussion, and we are also fighting for pensions for our families. The domestic compensation has also started the procedure, but the specific amount of compensation is not clear now. "
"Thailand has promised us to transport the child’s body back to China as soon as possible." On the morning of 10th, Li Yuheng’s aunt, Ms. Li, said that the local consulate of China in Thailand specially sent people to help them deal with related matters.
At about 17 o’clock yesterday, Yao said that they were all going through the formalities for returning to China. "The time for the body to return to China has been advanced, and it is tentatively scheduled for the 12 th."
Yesterday afternoon, the reporter of Chengdu Business Daily contacted the Consular Office of China Consulate in Songkhla, Thailand in Phuket by telephone. The staff said that they were currently assisting Li Yuheng’s family to deal with the aftermath, and there was nothing else to say. Lei Yuchen, a reporter from Thailand’s Silk Road TV station, also said that he contacted the shipping company involved in the cruise ship in Thai, but the other party only said that the company had a special person to handle the matter, and the local government had also intervened, and then ended the call on the grounds of being too busy.
Graduation trip
Eight students went abroad together.
6 men and 2 women only accompanied by the parents of the deceased.
Yao introduced that Li Yuheng and his party went abroad through Neijiang Spring and Autumn Travel Agency. On the morning of July 10th, AARON Li, a staff member of the travel agency, introduced that the company is also Neijiang Branch of Sichuan Gotone International Travel Service, so it has the qualification to travel abroad.
AARON Li said that Li Yuheng did sign up for a trip abroad with Neijiang Chunqiu Travel Agency, but the trip abroad was independently organized by Chongqing Qianyou International Travel Service, and a team leader was sent to Thailand. Among them, there are 10 applicants in Neijiang, including 2 adults and 8 students. "Two adults are Li Yuheng’s parents, and eight students are students who graduated from high school this year." AARON Li said that all 10 people signed travel contracts on June 30th. Among them, seven students except Li Yuheng registered with the travel agency the day before. One of the seven students was under 18 years old and two students were under 18 years old. To this end, she also specially contacted the parents of seven students, and both parents agreed to travel. The parents of students under the age of 18 also signed a consent form. "At that time, seven students said that there was another one to sign up the next day. The next day came Li Yuheng and his parents. "
AARON Li said that at present, Hu You, the head of the company, has gone to Thailand to handle this matter. The reporter of Chengdu Business Daily contacted Hu You according to the phone number she provided, but Hu You said that it is not convenient to introduce the final processing result after returning to China.
Subsequently, the Chengdu Business Daily reporter contacted Shen Jianfei, the legal representative of Chongqing Qianyou International Travel Service Co., Ltd. by telephone, but he refused to be interviewed. Ms. He said that she is from Chongqing Qianyou International Travel Service, but this time she handled the aftermath on behalf of Neijiang’s travel agency.
"Of the eight people, two are in our class, and the others were in liberal arts classes or other classes in the past." A classmate of Li Yuheng said. In Li Yuheng’s QQ space, Chengdu Business Daily reporter noticed that on July 5, he published "Let’s go!" "Talk about", and with a number of photos before boarding. One of the photos shows that a group of 8 students are 6 men and 2 women.
Travel agency leader restores the moment of the incident.
Tourists just went to sea and the weather changed suddenly.
It was only a few seconds before the accident.
The doll is stuck between two motors.
At noon yesterday, the Chengdu Business Daily reporter contacted Ms. He, the leader of the Chinese travel agency of Li Yuheng’s tour group, who is still in Thailand. According to her introduction, there are 34 tourists in Li Yuheng’s tour group, most of whom are students who graduated from the college entrance examination. In the early morning of July 6, a group of people arrived in Phuket.
"Before I ran to the stern, I heard someone shouting that someone was stuck."
"According to the itinerary, the 8 th is out of the sea." Ms. He said that at 9: 50 am on the 8 th, a group of people arrived at the dock. At that time, the weather was fine, which met the sea conditions. There are 34 tourists in the party, plus 36 Thai tour guides and her. The cruise ship is allowed to carry 50 people. The ship has three motors and is equipped with a captain, two crew members and life-saving equipment such as life jackets.
At about 11 o’clock, the cruise ship arrived at a local scenic spot called Lovers Beach. After playing for half an hour, the cruise ship set off for Paradise Bay at 11: 30 and arrived about 10 minutes later. "This place allows swimming in the sea." Ms. He said that before boarding the ship, the captain and tour guide told the tourists about the precautions that swimming should not be close to rocks and propellers, and signed a safety responsibility letter with the tourists.
"Li Yuheng is about the eleventh to go to sea, and the time to go to sea is around 11: 50." Ms. He said that tourists began to go to sea, she took photos of tourists at the bow, the captain went to sea to look after the swimming tourists, and the tour guide took care of other tourists who did not go to sea in the cabin. There are about 20 tourists on the cruise ship, plus more than 10 other cruise ships, there are at least hundreds of tourists in the sea.
In Ms. He’s memory, the tourists had just been in the sea for five or six minutes, and the weather suddenly changed, and the clouds were gathering and the wind began to blow. "I quickly called those who didn’t go to the sea not to go down, and called the tourists in the sea to come back quickly." Ms. He said that she was at the bow and ran to the stern, calling everyone to hurry ashore. "In a few seconds, before I ran to the stern, I heard someone shouting that someone was stuck." She said that she ran to the stern and found that someone was stuck between two motors, exposing the back of the life jacket. "Before the guide’s life jacket was worn, he jumped into the sea to save people. Someone on board got the motor up."
Come back after several rescues
The child eventually bled out and died unfortunately.
Soon, Li Yuheng was rescued from the boat. "There are many wounds all over the body, which is terrible. The sea water has turned red." Ms. He said that she quickly found more than 10 towels to cover Li Yuheng’s wounds and put a life jacket on her head. Before waiting for the arrival of the search and rescue ship, two passengers who were doctors on board also gave Li Yuheng CPR and artificial respiration. "His parents also came to the stern after the incident. At that time, his mother cried and we comforted her."
"After the search and rescue ship arrived, two tourists did not return. We called the search and rescue ship to find the other two, and the cruise ship rushed to the hospital at full speed." Ms. He said that at 12: 05, Li Yuheng was taken to the hospital and the hospital gave him emergency rescue. "At first, the tour guide said that he was breathing, but not long after, the doctor said that he had to be transferred."
After urgent discussion, the tour guide, the doctor from Pipi Island and Li Yuheng’s parents took an emergency boat and took Li Yuheng to the nearest Krabi Hospital. "The voyage from Pipi Island to Krabi Pier is about 25 minutes, and the pier to the hospital takes about 10 to 15 minutes by car." Ms. He said that in the afternoon, she also rushed to the hospital, and the local government and people involved in the cruise company also rushed to the hospital. "Despite the hospital’s full rescue, the baby stopped beating for three or four times and was rescued, but in the end she left everyone because of excessive blood loss. We are also very sad. "
Ms. He said that according to what she learned from a tourist afterwards, the reason why Li Yuheng was involved in the propeller was that one of the crew members saw the wind blowing, and a speedboat approached the cruise ship next to it and started the engine. After hearing about the accident, the crew turned off the engine again. "Another tourist who went to the sea said that he was almost involved at that time, but he swam away after struggling."

Special reminder
There have been many similar accidents in Krabi Sea since the beginning of this year.
Find out the weather before the high incidence of maritime accidents in rainy season in Thailand.
According to local media reports in Thailand, since the beginning of this year, there have been many accidents of speedboat collision or propeller injury in Krabi, Thailand. In order to prevent such accidents from happening again, Thailand attaches great importance to and continues to prevent them. Ships with buoys are required to fasten the buoys first. If tourists on board want to go swimming in the sea, they must turn off their engines.
Thai Silk Road TV reported that on June 8, 2016, a yacht collision occurred in Pipi Island, killing two tourists from China. Every year from June to October is the rainy season in Thailand. During this period, there will be continuous heavy rainfall throughout Thailand. When tourists play in the beach and go out to sea by boat, they are vulnerable to waves. The rainy season is also the season with high incidence of maritime accidents in Thailand. In addition, Krabi Prefecture, which belongs to Pipi Island, belongs to southern Thailand, and its medical conditions are relatively backward. In case of emergency, it is easy to be unable to deal with the injured.
Thailand’s Silk Road TV station suggested that you should choose regular travel companies and cruise companies with reasonable quotations to travel to Thailand, buy overseas travel accident insurance before going abroad, know the weather before going out to sea, and wear life jackets all the way to participate in wading projects. If you encounter problems and ask for help, call the tourist police at 1155, the emergency number 911 or the China Embassy in Thailand for support as soon as possible.
