On the morning of the 24th, roaring red flames soared from waters about 25 kilometers southeast of Oryukdo, Busan. At the time, the situation was critical, with one crew member still trapped inside the burning fishing boat without a chance to escape.

The Korea Coast Guard, dispatched in an emergency following the report, deployed fire-suppression cannons to extinguish the blaze, but approaching the vessel was extremely difficult due to the thick black smoke and ferocious flames covering the sea. We captured the dizzying moments of the marine rescue in on-site footage.
