[QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 47251, member: 636"] The Sri Lanka Navy saved two fishermen from a boat that flipped over near Galle's waters. The fishing vessel turned upside down about 9 nautical miles from shore on June 27. Navy and Air Force teams began searching the area immediately after receiving the emergency report. The rescue mission continued through the night as crews worked to find survivors. Officials coordinated multiple vessels and aircraft for the search effort. On June 28 morning, rescue teams found the first fisherman floating in the water. A fishing boat operating nearby helped pull him from the sea safely. Medical teams rushed him to Karapitiya Hospital for emergency treatment. His condition improved after receiving proper medical care from doctors. The successful rescue gave hope to families waiting for news about other crew members. Navy divers discovered the second fisherman trapped inside the overturned fishing vessel. The man remained alive despite being stuck under the boat for many hours. Rescue teams pumped fresh air through tubes to help him breathe properly. They secured the vessel to prevent it from going deeper underwater. Divers carefully removed him from the boat and brought him to the surface. Emergency workers transported the second survivor to Karapitiya Hospital for urgent medical attention. Both rescued fishermen received treatment from medical professionals at the facility. Sadly, rescue teams also found two crew members who had died during the accident. They brought the bodies back to shore that same evening. Families gathered at the harbor to receive news about their loved ones. Search operations continue as one fisherman remains missing from the accident. Navy ships patrol the waters looking for any signs of the final crew member. The rescue mission demonstrates the dedication of Sri Lankan maritime forces to saving lives at sea. [/QUOTE]
