Terrifying Moment Some Africans Were Trapped In A Sinking Boat At Sea(photo/vid) by Glimpsetv(op): 12:32pm On Jul 31, 2025
This was the terrifying moment when a group of Africans were filmed stranded in a small boat, deep in the middle of a vast and open sea. Their boat had begun to sink after suffering a mechanical failure, leaving them helpless and surrounded by water.

What made the situation even more alarming was that most of them were not wearing life jackets. In the footage, they can be seen frantically waving their hands, clearly signaling for help.

Surprisingly, their calm and composed behavior sparked conversation online. Despite the life-threatening situation, they remained quiet and didn’t scream, which many viewers found unusual and even admirable.

It remains unclear who they are or where they were heading when the incident occurred.

Do you expect them to be crying and shivering before? You should remain calm anytime you find yourself in situations beyond your control.

Seamen have a different kind of bravery I have lived with a particular tribe where the parents throw their kids in rivers leave them to scream till they almost drown then saves them

The lesson here is “you are born to die in the sea you should not fear it”

Africans ke? It is a global issue. The risks many immigrants take to reach their promised land will shock you.

Europeans may be the only group left out and that's because they have a large number of countries they can go to within their continent. It doesn't involve such high level risks when done illegally.

They can't possibly be in danger and remain calm like that.
They have a plan for survival.

This has got to be the Senegalese or Gambians.

They're experts in the transatlantic migration.

They had already accepted their fate before making the payment of 300,000 CFA.

But I don't think these ones were in danger anyway, I think their boat was being towed.

The south Africans regular trademark grin. Always in a hurry to blame other Africans, especially Nigerians for their misfortune grin

A comfortable fellow in an air conditioned office built by a bigger fellow who took a bigger risk , sipping on a cup of coffee, condemning some risk takers embarking on same adventure his boss took- YOU

Those ones were the few survivors, as migrant boats like this do carry over 200 people. Why are these guys taking such a huge risk to migrate illegally?

Too sad...


No one cares about the youth

Pls listen to Nas and Damian Marley ft Maria - Sabali (Patience)

They were more than that on that boat, but some of them are overboard already so the others already signed up to reality

Their mood clearly indicates "anywhere, anything better pass the present suffer head". It is sad.

Their Calmness . . .
- It's obvious they are good swimmers, the absence of life jacket says it all.
- It's not the first time they will experience such thing, see their comportment . . .
- They made it alive else this video wouldn't have been posted online

N.B
If you can't swim, avoid the sea
Re: Terrifying Moment Some Africans Were Trapped In A Sinking Boat At Sea(photo/vid) by IMPARTIAL: 1:42pm On Jul 31, 2025
They were not in danger. If they were in danger, that guy would not carry that big gallon to his mouth. Which water you wan drink when you are in danger?

Yes, they had an issue. But it was being sorted. How about the guy videoing?

Abegii!
Re: Terrifying Moment Some Africans Were Trapped In A Sinking Boat At Sea(photo/vid) by Tunmise40: 1:43pm On Jul 31, 2025
Wow
Hope they were later rescued sha? Omo these people really risked it
Re: Terrifying Moment Some Africans Were Trapped In A Sinking Boat At Sea(photo/vid) by gulfer: 1:43pm On Jul 31, 2025
Blame them not, some of them prefer to die at sea than be under rudderless governments in many of the African countries. They know if they take the chance on life by crossing the treacherous sea (life's a chance in most African black countries) successfully, they will have a better chance of success in life. Time's nigh for our leaders to eschew selfishness and egocentric administrative style; make Africa thriving so people would stop risking their lives to get to Europe......... undecided undecided undecided
