這支影片,拍下印度當地一名市長所搭的船,翻覆的畫面,已在社群媒體上瘋傳。事件起因,都歸咎於這名市長。
該船當時正航行在印度西南部,果阿邦首府帕納吉市(Panaji)的聖伊內茲溪(St. Inez Creek),這趟旅程的目的,是展示該船的水中除草功能。
照片中這位,就是帕納吉市市長Surendra Furtado。他帶著兩名記者,和其他四人上船。
Furtado邀請媒體記者見證,這艘船去除岸邊雜草的功效,最近雨季的一場暴風雨過後,河岸雜草叢生,並積滿汙水和垃圾。
很不巧,這艘除草船竟然卡在岸邊,而它不但不能清除雜草、垃圾,反倒…如你所見,翻覆了。
Furtado市長一度被拖到船底,但最後所有人都幸運逃過一劫,並未受傷。
此事件發生後,有人向警方投訴Furtado市長,指市長一行人雖經警告,仍讓船超載,導致翻覆。
嗯,因為超載,導致全船翻覆…這劇情好熟啊!人們為何總學不會記取教訓呢?
英文原文:
This video of a boat capsizing while carrying a local mayor has gone viral on social media. And now the mayor is being blamed for the incident.
The boat, which was traveling along St. Inez Creek in Panaji, in the Indian state of Goa, was on a demonstration tour to show off its weed-removing mechanism.
Panaji mayor, Surendra Furtado, seen here, two journalists and four others were onboard.
Furtado had invited media to witness the mechanical removal of weeds along the banks of the creek, which had swelled during recent monsoon storms and became filled with sewage and trash.
Unfortunately, the mechanism became logged in the bank and, instead of removing weed and debris, well.. you get the idea.
Furtado was dragged under the boat, but he and everyone else escaped unharmed.
Following the incident, a police complaint was filed against Furtado, stating that despite being warned, Furtado and others overloaded the boat, which led to it capsizing.
Overloading boats that capsized … hmm. People just never seem to learn.
