Earlier, on the afternoon of May 15, a group of children from Rang Dong village went to the beach to play and swim. Due to large waves and deep water, two children, born in 2018 and 2015, were pulled away from the shore, leaving them struggling and in critical danger. The two victims are cousins whose parents work far from home; they currently reside with their grandparents.

Upon discovering the situation, Chu Van Tuan Vu and Pham Van Dan, born in 1962 and residing in Rang Dong village, quickly swam out to sea and successfully brought the children safely back to shore.
