According to local media such as VN Express, Palm Dewey Quang, which was floating in the sea in waters near Vietnam's Lison Island, was found and rescued by a cargo ship passing by on the 8th.
He was floating in the water wearing a life jacket at sea about 111 kilometers from the island of Lythorne, and the captain, who found it, returned the ship to rescue him.
At that time, it was not easy to approach due to the strong waves caused by Typhoon 'Seagull', but the crew succeeded in raising the quagmire by throwing life buoys after several attempts. At that time, Quang was conscious, but he was very tired.
The captain said, `Saving a life is like saving a family," he said, expressing his emotion.
According to local authorities, Quang and another man, Levan San, 37, were swept away by the waves on the 6th in a small boat to save Duong Quang Kuong, 44, who jumped into the sea due to family problems.
San and Kuong were also rescued by a passenger ship on the afternoon of the 8th. Both are known to be in good health.
The rescue was able to be done quickly thanks to the earlier rescue announcement of the approximate location of the two.
Quang's wife shed tears when she heard that her husband was alive. She said "It's a miracle to come back alive after drifting for more than 40 hours in the typhoon" and "I couldn't sleep for two days and just prayed"
