7/25 (Thu) 10:03 distribution tbs news dig powered by jnn Yesterday, a high-speed jet boat that was being towed by a tugboat because it was unable to navigate on its own arrived at Izu Oshima early this morning, about 22 hours after departure. Reporter: “The ship that has been towed for a long time has finally arrived.” The high-speed jet boat “Seven Island Ai,” carrying 121 passengers and crew, arrived at Okada Port on Izu Oshima Island at around 5:40 a.m. while being pushed from the side by a tugboat. Passengers were finally able to disembark from the ship about 22 hours after it departed yesterday. According to the Japan Coast Guard, none of the passengers needed to be taken to hospital, but those who disembarked…
Woman on the boat
“The arrival got delayed more and more, so I wondered if we would make it back alive.”
A parent and child on the boat
“My wife and child both vomited several times, and the people around us were constantly vomiting, so it was a pretty scary sight.”
“I’m relieved that we’ve finally reached land, but I’m worried because we’re not yet at our destination (Shikinejima) or starting point (Takeshiba, Tokyo).”
The passengers then traveled by bus to their accommodations, but some departed for their original destinations of Shikinejima and Niijima on a special jet boat provided by Tokai Kisen at around 9:50 a.m. sauce.
When I was watching the live broadcast, the boat was rocking violently and I was thinking, “Are the people on board feeling sick?” I guess that would make them throw up…
It was really rough. But it was summer, so there was a sense of security that even if you flipped over, you could swim and not die. If you were thrown out of Shiretoko, you’d be certain to die.
It’s shaking more than I expected. [Breaking News] The towing rope broke… What caused it? 116 passengers and 5 crew members are inside the high-speed jet boat [News Station] (July 24, 2024).
>>31 The worst thing is when you vomit so much that there’s nothing left to vomit. It’s easier to force yourself to stuff your stomach with water, bread, rice balls, or whatever, and keep yourself in a state where you can vomit something.
It’s one thing if you go with family, but it’s tragic if you go with your partner. No matter how much you like someone, it’s tough to see them throwing up.
Just because the towboat arrives doesn’t mean we’re safe. It takes 22 hours to arrive. Apparently everyone is vomiting all the time because of the big rocking. Seasickness is hell.
