Gytheio: What the camera recorded on the boat of the missing fisherman - 'A violent 'thud' was heard'
Search efforts continue for a missing 60-year-old fisherman in Gytheio, Greece, with investigators examining footage from his boat's camera documenting his activities before his disappearance.
The search for a 60-year-old fisherman who went missing in Gytheio, Greece, has entered its fourth day, focusing on video footage from the camera mounted on his fishing boat. This footage reportedly shows his movements before his disappearance, indicating he was actively working on the boat before he was last seen. At some point during his duties, a loud noise was heard, described by another fisherman as a violent 'thud,' raising concerns about a potential accident that might have occurred while he was handling the nets.
Witnesses, including fellow fishermen, have speculated that the missing man might have been dragged underwater by the nets he was collecting, a situation they indicate is not uncommon in fishing. Despite this, the absence of his body thus far could be attributed to currents potentially carrying him away from the area. The family expresses deep concern and calls for continued search efforts, hoping for a positive outcome amidst the grim circumstances.
The incident has sparked discussion in the local community about the dangers faced by fishermen and the importance of safety measures at sea. As search teams continue to comb the waters and shoreline for any clues that may assist in locating the missing fisherman, authorities remain focused on piecing together the last moments recorded on the boat's camera to understand what may have happened.
