At noon on September 24, speaking with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Pham Hoang An, Deputy Head of My Khe Sea Management Team, said that at around 6am the same day, the staff of My Khe Sea Management Team discovered 5 people swept away by waves to shore. The rescue team rushed to the sea to successfully rescue all 5 people. Some of them are 76 years old.
"Today the sea is rough and the waves are big, so 5 people were swept away by the waves. Fortunately, the rescue team promptly discovered and successfully rescued all 5 people. Among them, one person was swept away about 300m from the shore, Mr. An informed.
According to Mr. An, at this time, My Khe beach has big waves, the flow away from the shore is very dangerous for beach goers. The My Khe Sea Management Team has put up warning signs so that people do not swim too far, paying attention to avoid points with water flowing far from the shore.
My Khe beach is located in Tinh Khe commune, about 12km from the center of Quang Ngai province. This is one of the famous tourist destinations in Quang Ngai province.
