A concerned netizen shares a video of his fellow passengers screaming in fear during a rough voyage midway through the trip.
On Sunday morning (September 15, 2024), a fast craft ferry carrying passengers from Bohol to Dumaguete City faced a terrifying trip. The post circulated online and garnered various reactions from netizens.
A Facebook user and Bohol native Jan Anderson Cuadra shared a video showing the intense situation onboard. The video quickly spread like wildfire on social media and elicited comments from the online community.
The video shows panicked passengers screaming and crying as the boat encountered rough seas due to the strong southwest monsoon and the effects of severe Tropical Storm Bebinca.
The rough waters tossed the vessel, causing alarm among the passengers. The fear and chaos were seen as the ferry attempted to push through the turbulent conditions. The vessel eventually turned back to Bohol for safety, unable to continue the journey to Dumaguete.
Many viewers sympathized with the terrified passengers, expressing relief that the boat returned safely. Others criticized the decision to sail amid such dangerous weather conditions.
The incident took place around 11 a.m. and shows the unpredictable nature of sea travel during extreme weather events. The southwest monsoon continued to affect parts of the Philippines, making travel across certain routes more hazardous.
The video reminds the public of the risks associated with traveling by sea during bad weather. It also raised concerns about the safety measures in place for sea vessels operating in challenging conditions, emphasizing the need for better communication and decision-making during such incidents.
