Boat Accident in South Korea – level 1

12-12-2017 07:00

An accident happens in South Korea. A fishing boat carries 22 people. It crashes into a tanker.

The tanker is very big and heavy. It weighs 338 tons. Nobody from the tanker is injured.

However, the fishing boat turns over. People are stuck in the ship. Some of them fall into the water. Thirteen people from the fishing boat die. Two people are missing.

Difficult words: tanker (a very big boat which carries oil), stuck (when someone cannot get out), are missing (we do not know if these people are alive and where they are).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
