On the morning of August 1, Da Nang City authorities found the bodies of two drowning students in the Vung Bot area - the upstream stream of the Cu De River. The victim was handed over to his family for funeral arrangements.
Previously, at around 6:30 a.m. the same day, two students, N.Q.T. (20 years old, residing in Hai Chau ward) and N.T.T. (20 years old, residing in Son Tra ward), Da Nang city, together wading through a stream in the Vung Bot area. Unfortunately, both of them slipped, were swept away by the water and went missing. Local people quickly reported it to the authorities.
Immediately after receiving the report, An Hai Ward Police coordinated with specialized forces of the Fire Prevention and Fighting and Rescue Police Department to organize the search. At 10:00 a.m. the same day, the bodies of both victims were found and brought ashore.
Vung Bot - the headwaters of the Cu De River - is a favorite destination for many young people who are passionate about experiential travel, often chosen for camping, taking photos, and exploring nature. However, this area also has many potential risks due to harsh terrain, deep water, plain rocks and complex flow.
The local government has repeatedly warned residents and visitors to be cautious when participating in activities in the stream area, especially during the rainy season or early morning - when the rock surface is easily slippery and visibility is limited.
This heartbreaking incident once again rang the bell warning about the need to ensure personal safety when visiting and exploring nature, especially for young people.
