Boating Accident In Sydney Harbour

DateWednesday, April 30, 2008 at 9:44PM

Boats collide overnight in Sydney Harbour Australia at around 2:30 AM killing 5 people as of this writing and injuring 9 others 1 critically.

Apparently one of the boats involved was taken without permission and was not designed to carry that many people. The boat collided into a fishing trawler and injured two people on the trawler as well.

Over 50 rescue personnel were involved in the rescue and the victims ranged in age from 18 to 31.

The owner of the boat that was taken without permission stated, "All my staff have been accounted for,"adding that "None of them work overnight."

    This is a sad news buddy; we should have to take more safety measurements for saving our lives from these kinds of the accidents in the future. The officials should have to take this issue as a serious one in their records.
