A passenger boat carrying more than 100 people sank after a collision in a large lake in Bangladesh, Friday, with officials saying 21 people were dead and about 50 remained missing.


지난 금요일 방글라데시 대형 호수에서 100명 이상을 태운 여객선이 충돌하면서 전복돼 21명이 숨지고 50여 명이 실종됐다고 당국 관계자들은 전했다.



The sinking occurred in the Bijoynagar area in the Brahmanbaria district in the evening, local police official Imranul Islam said by phone. Rescuers recovered at least 21 bodies by late Friday, while survivors said about 100 people were on board, he added. Local news reports, quoting the area's top government administrator, Hayat-Ud-Dola, said about 50 people were still missing.

현지 경찰 임라눌 이슬람 경찰관은 통화로 이번 전복 사고가 오후 브라만바리아 지구 비조이나가르 지역에서 발생했다고 전했다. 그는 지난 금요일까지 구조대원들이 시신 21구를 수습했으며, 생존자들은 100여 명의 승객들이 탑승하고 있었다고 덧붙였다. 현지 언론은 이 지역 행정 관리자인 하얏 우돌라의 말을 인용해 약 50명이 여전히 실종 상태라고 보도했다.



A witness said two cargo vessels hit the boat, which sank quickly, Dhaka-based The Daily Star newspaper reported.

한 목격자는 화물선 2척이 여객선과 충돌해 빠르게 침몰했다고 다카 지역 더데일리스타 신문이 보도했다.



''I was grazing cattle on the bank of the pond. I heard a loud noise and saw the cargo vessels hitting the passenger trawler. I saw the trawler sinking quickly,'' witness Nurul Amin told the paper.

목격자 누룰 아민은 신문을 통해 "나는 둑에서 소를 방목하고 있었다. 큰 소리가 나서 보았더니 화물선이 여객선과 충돌하는 것을 보았다"고 말했다.



The area is 82 kilometers (51 miles) east of the capital, Dhaka.

이 지역은 수도인 다카에서 동쪽으로 82킬로미터(51마일) 떨어져 있다.



Bangladesh is a delta nation where water transport is heavily used to move people and goods, but deadly accidents are common because of unskilled operation and poor enforcement of safety rules. (AP)

방글라데시는 사람을 이동시키고 물자를 옮기는 데 수상 교통을 주로 이용하는 국가지만 미숙한 운영과 제대로 지켜지지 않는 안전 수칙으로 대형 사고가 종종 발생한다.
