One sailor died and three were rescued after
petroleum boat exploded off Rayong.
The body of Worawuth Sawasdee, 29, was recovered on
by Marine Department officials Aug. 14 on Rayong Beach, about 10
kilometers from where the 500-liter tanker exploded.
Three other unidentified crewmen were rescued by the
Royal Thai Navy, which sent a Superlink helicopter to scout the accident
scene. The unexplained explosion created a 100-meter-long oil slick.
