The accident was caused by an engine explosion on a fishing boat, leaving two fishermen seriously injured and nearly sinking the boat.

“A coast guard vessel quickly arrived at the scene of the distressed Philippine fishing boat, freed the small boat and carried out rescue operations,” a narrator in the roughly two-minute video clip from the China Coast Guard said.
