HO CHI MINH CITY, April 6 (Xinhua) -- A boat, rented by a group of high school students in Vietnam's southern Bac Lieu province to attend a whale-worshipping festival, capsized on Thursday morning, killing three youths.
The accident happened near Ganh Hao fishing port in Dong Hai district, and bodies of the three local male students aged 16-17 have been found, said the district's police.
When the boat was some 500 meters away from the port and on the way to attend the annual traditional festival, it capsized and then sank due to strong waves.
