China Boat Accident | 10 Dead, 70 Hospitalized After Tourist Boats Capsize In China's Wu River Emergency crews were seen conducting search and rescue operations in China's Qianxi province on Sunday night after a boat carrying 84 tourists capsized in strong winds, killing at least 10 people. Footage shows rescuers setting up flood lights and equipment along the banks of the Liuchong River and entering the water in dinghies. Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for 'all-out efforts' in rescue operations and care for the injured after the incident, which occurred during the May Day holidays. Investigators found that the boats were not overcrowded with passengers. Sunday's incident occurred just over two months after 11 people were killed in a boat collision in central China.
