A boy stands on a bridge overlooking a partially submerged yacht. The newly built luxury yacht began to sink after its launch into the Tha Chin River in Samut Sakhon's Muang district on Friday. About 200 workers of a private yacht building company tried in vain to adjust cables which were fastened to the 1,000 tonne yacht as it was being launched. Witnesses said the yacht tipped sideways and water gushed into its interior.The yacht was sinking while the workers erected buoys in the hope of keeping it afloat. However, the buoys could not support the vessel's weight. (Chanat Katanyu/Bangkok Post)
