Boat Capsized: Search for Missing Person in Mur

Search for Man in the Mur: Fire Brigade Divers and Police Boat in Action

The aluminum boat of the three workers from the construction site sank for unknown reasons around 7:20 a.m. when the men were on the water for work. The boat went completely under. Two workers were able to swim to the shore themselves, while a witness alerted the emergency services. Fire brigade divers and the crew of the police boat, which has only been available for a few weeks, were also alerted for the search for the still missing man. This is their first mission. The police helicopter was meanwhile withdrawn, because despite the calm water surface, there is a so-called undercurrent according to police spokesman Sabri Yorgun. The water of the Mur is therefore currently extremely murky. Nothing could be seen from the helicopter. The murky water also complicates the search for the fire brigade divers. Nothing has been disclosed about the identity of the missing man, as his relatives were only informed in the morning, according to the police.
