About Seven Seconds


When 15-year-old black cyclist Brenton Butler dies in a hit-and-run accident -- with a white police officer behind the wheel of the vehicle -- Jersey City explodes with racial tension. This crime drama explores the aftermath of the accident, which includes an attempted cover-up by the police department and a volatile trial. Assistant prosecutor KJ wants to prosecute the hit-and-run as a hate crime, in addition to a negligent homicide. The longer the case drags on without a resolution, the more tense the situation becomes. Emmy winner Regina King stars as Brenton's churchgoing mother, Latrice.

Hungary: Seven dead and many missing after boat capsizes in Budapest

Apr 27,2024 7:11 pm

Seven South Korean tourists have died and another 21 people are missing after a boat sank on the Danube river in Hungary's capital, Budapest.

Thirty South Korean tourists and three tour guides, as well as two Hungarian crew, were on The Tour boat when it collided with another vessel.

The Incident occurred just after 21:00 local time (19:00 GMT) on Wednesday.

Seven people have been rescued, and a massive search operation is continuing on a river swollen by heavy rainfall.

The Rain had led to strong currents on the Danube, and rescue teams say there is little hope of finding more survivors.

It was not immediately clear which vessel was responsible for the collision, a rare incident on the Danube where navigation is busy But generally safe.

A criminal investigation has been launched.

What is known about The Incident ?

The boat that sank near the Parliament Building in central Budapest was identified as the Hableany, or Mermaid. It has two decks and a capacity of 45 people for sightseeing trips.

This still from CCTV footage purportedly shows the two vessels (encircled) just minutes before the collision

CCTV footage has emerged showing the 27-m (89-ft) Hableany and a larger tour boat, the 135-m Viking Sigyn, travelling in the same direction and colliding near the Margit (Margaret) Bridge.

The boat sank within Seven Seconds after the collision, police spokesman Adrian Pal said.

"The whole thing happened very quickly" Clay Findley, a US tourist who was on The Viking Sigyn, told the BBC.

"I thought at first we were going to miss it, But The Front of The Viking hit the back of that Little Boat . . And Then the hull popped up on The Opposite side of The Ship , just a few seconds later, And Then it was down," he added.

Emergency crews discovered The Wreckage of The Mermaid , built in 1949 in the former Soviet Union , on the riverbed near the Margaret Bridge and were preparing to lift it.

But The Group also included a six-year-old child and A Man in his 70s, South Korea 's Yonhap news agency reported.

Boats, divers, spotlights, and radar scanning are involved in The Massive search operation

The Captain of the Swiss-registered Viking Sigyn was questioned on Wednesday night.

What about The Rescue operation?

Seven survivors were taken to hospital with "hypothermia and shock symptoms", said Pal Gyorfi, a spokesman for Hungarian emergency services.

A 31-year-old passenger, identified only by her surname Jung, told Yonhap: "The current was so fast and people were floating away. "

Another survivor, a 32-year-old woman named as Yoon, said she believed some 10 people who remained in The Cabin had not been able to escape. "The boat flipped instantly and Capsized . "

The Rescue effort continued on Thursday with boats, divers, spotlights, and radar scanning along The River , where the temperature of the water was between 10C and 12C (50F-54F).

But teams warned that, as more time passed, the strong currents would carry people further downstream, lessening the chances of finding survivors.

The seven confirmed victims were not wearing life jackets and three of them were found several kilometres from The Site of the collision, police said.

'An accident waiting to happen'

By Nick Thorpe , Bbc News , Budapest

There has been a dramatic increase in river traffic in recent years as tourism increases in Budapest.

Andras Kurbely, a crew member of another large Cruise Ship with 27 years of experience on the Danube, told the BBC that this was an accident he and others have long worried about.

"It's just not healthy to have so many large ships, which are much more powerful and harder to manoeuvre, carving a route between so many smaller boats. "

In his view, The Practice of The River cruisers, which sail up and down The River between The Five main bridges as an after-dinner excursion for their passengers, should be stopped.

How has South Korea reacted?

The South Korean foreign ministry said officials would be sent to Hungary and counselling would be made available to victims' families.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in said his government planned "to co-operate with the Hungarian government to thoroughly investigate The Cause of The Accident ".

For South Koreans, the sinking is a painful reminder of the Sewol disaster in 2014, the BBC's Laura Bicker in Seoul reports.

The ferry of that name sank off South Korea 's Jindo island, killing 304 people, almost all of them schoolchildren on a trip.

The Ship 's captain was later.
