In Yuzhno-Kurilsk declared mourning for the dead border guards

January 29 2014 22

The Day of Mourning was announced on January 29 in Yuzhno-Kurilsk on Kunashir Island in connection with the death of the border guards who drowned there a few days ago. According to ITAR-TASS, the head of the municipality Vasily Solomko, in all localities of the region will be lowered the national flags of the Russian Federation, the Sakhalin region and the municipal entity "South Kuril urban district".

In the evening of January 24, ten border guards went to sea in a rubber boat to moor to the border ship that people were supposed to land on. Because of the strong seas of the sea, the boat overturned a few hundred meters from the coast, people could not swim out. The bodies of four dead were found, six more people are still missing.

“Today the funeral of the two dead will take place, tomorrow the body of the third border guard will be interred,” said Solomko. “All the guys are our countrymen, we knew them well and mourn with our relatives.” According to the head of Yuzhno-Kurilsk, all enterprises in the region are recommended to cancel entertainment events on the day of mourning. “People are sympathetic to such a request,” said Solomko. “For our island, this has become a common tragedy.”

The body of the fourth dead border guard will be taken to Sakhalin by relatives, the administration of Yuzhno-Kurilsk said. “Today, searches are conducted on the water, in the Yuzhno-Kurilskaya Bay, from five ships,” said the press officer of the Sakhalin Border Directorate of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation Alexei Melnikov. “There are two helicopters in the air, people are inspecting the coastal line near 20. Searches are conducted and on the coasts of the neighboring islands - Iturup and Shikotan ".

  Who even released them into the sea in a strong excitement with an elastic band? And the border guards have a bright memory.

    It is very, very sad that the soldier continues to die because of someone's banal negligence and outright indifference.
    Good memory to the boys who gave their lives in the performance of duty !!!!

  When conducting a search operation, another tragedy nearly happened:
  “As it became known to IA Sakh.com, today in the South Kuril Bay, where 24 border guards were killed in the evening of January 10, another floating craft with a search group on board capsized. All people are alive and have been taken to the hospital with hypothermia.>
  IA Sakh.com 27/01/2014
  Life jackets do not prevent hypothermia. If someone has never seen a life jacket, I will explain that it looks like the one in which road workers, railroad workers or builders work. Only necessarily red or orange and divided into sections filled with a porous material, before it was a cork, then something like foam. Now some other composition, but it does not save from hypothermia (hypothermia). 2-5 minutes in the water +2 Celsius and that's it. People had to be wearing immersion suits. The smallness is uncomfortable and hinders movement, but if you fall overboard, you can hold out for 5 hours or more (depending on the type of suit and the country of manufacture). In general, if it's serious - at this time in the northern seas - difficult navigation, autumn-winter period. In Soviet times, for such movements in rubber boats, especially ten of them in an eight-seat boat - even without the death of people, the very fact of such a sea "walk" would have been removed. There are no words what you can call that freak who gave the command to people with elastic bands to go to the shore, pick up three more and then follow to the detained ship. And this is at 22.00. In the dark. It was impossible to do that even during the day.
  Sorry for the guys. All Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands mourn.

    This is a no brainer, the bottom line is that a person who has fallen overboard at sea in a vest is easier to detect. QUOTE Six more people are still missing.

  It's not even about saving vests that are in water with a temperature of + 2-5 degrees, they will not save from overcooling and were dying, but this is a matter of minutes. Yes and winter uniform (pea jacket, sheepskin coat, boots) could pull a person immediately under the water along with a rescue vest.
  There was no safety net and coordination of actions with the border guard who was on the roadstead with the intruder, they could send help from there, but a rubber-motor boat is not the best watercraft during the excitement in winter.
  The blessed memory of the dead ....

    It's a shame that you and I, people in general are strangers, understand everything perfectly. What is terrible is that those who know this from their positions have neglected it anyway.

  You think with such cold water the vests would help them? Rather, the border guards died from hypothermia.

  They also write on fences, only the body in the vest does not sink. And if it (the body) is in a vest, then it is easier to find it.

Do you believe it yourself? Cold sea, excitement, rubber boat and no vest?

  I believe, and what happened is a vivid example of the fact that the carelessness of chiefs in relation to their personnel has not gone anywhere, and moreover, it is flourishing. By the way, I did not understand about the cold sea - what is this for? About vests I can tell you unequivocally - a life jacket when entering a "pond" (no matter which one) on a boat is an axiom of safety.

    there the water is just above zero, in this case, in a couple of minutes, only the corpse will help to find faster, only a wetsuit, but then half of them would not fit into the boat. I’m sorry for the guys, the jokes are bad with the winter seas and they don’t look at shoulder straps, I hope that the person who authorized this transportation drowned with them,

There were similar cases in the Soviet Army (Navy). It is enraging that they constantly hope for "ABOS!" Safety precautions must be observed !!! The guilty person (s) should be punished indicatively, so that others do not know it. Kingdom of heaven for children and eternal memory.

It just struck one of the inspectors to check something, because they don’t know how to do anything else in life, they only control the others, he gave the order and this is the result. And everything was probably screaming
fast fast with confident command notes in the voice.
