[앵커]

The sailor who survived the overturning of a fishing boat in Gyeongju was in a fish shed, which was able to survive thanks to the boat being overturned in no time and filled with air.

There was room enough to barely get wet in the water, so I didn’t even have to endure the cold winter sea.

The fishing boat’Goryongho’ overturned off the coast of Gyeongju.

As the diver breaks through the cluttered fishing nets and enters the hull, a sailor struggling to float in the water is seen.

The situation where only the neck is placed in the air pocket.

As the ship turned over, he waited for rescue in the air pocket, the space where the air that could not escape was left.

The dramatic rescued sailor was the head of a Korean institution.

“I saw four out of six sailors wearing life jackets just before being overturned,” he stated.

“I tried to get out of the boat, but I couldn’t get out,” he said.

He lasted 40 hours.

Immediately after the rescue, communication was impossible due to hypothermia, but after being transferred to the hospital, the condition is gradually improving.

Whether it’s a victim or a rescuer, we’ve shown once again that if you don’t give up until the end, different consequences can come at the crossroads of life and death.
