This tragic death and a few earlier drowning at Chittagong outer anchorage
remind us of the importance of wearing lifejackets while taking a trip to sea
in small boats. We should all learn from our mistakes and I would strongly
urge all our colleagues and friends to put on lifejackets as soon as they
board a small boat for proceeding to sea as 'passenger' by day or night.
Proper use of lifejackets would have prevented many drowning and let us not
allow anyone else to fall in water from small boats without having a basic
safety equipment - lifejacket.

Dear Abdullah,
I regret to inform you
that my batch mate and friend Ansari has expired on 13 April 2002 at
Chittagong outer anchorage.
I called Capt. Altaf (11th) at Chittagong this morning and understand that
Ansari, brother of Capt. M. A. Hashim (10th batch) and one other person named
Muzaffar working in Capt. Hashim's office went to a vessel at Chittagong outer
anchorage by a trawler boat. Capt. Hashim's brother was supposed to deliver
port clearance to the Master and Ansari with Muzaffar were supposed to carry
out draft survey of the vessel.
Instead of boarding the vessel they proceeded to forward of the vessel to read
the draft mark. The boat got entangled with the anchor chain of the vessel and
could not get itself free with the effect of very strong current. Efforts were
made by using engine and helm of the boat to clear her but she capsized. All
three of them and boatmen fell in the water. Muzaffar took off his clothes
before going in water and swam. Ansari was nearby him but could not swim well.
Muzaffar tried few times to raise Ansari above water but his head went in
water everytime. Possibly Ansari became unconscious immediately after entering
water. Meantime they were rescued by another trawler in the vicinity. Ansari's
unconscious body was brought ashore but on arrival in hospital Ansari was
pronounced dead. Capt. Hashim's brother's body could not be found till
date.................................................

We are all shocked and
paralyzed by this sad news. We pray to the Almighty for his departed soul.
Hope his family and friends can master the strength to withstand this loss.
Its sad for me to ask, again I will have to request all of you to pray for him
and send your thoughts to our Website. Capt. Abdullah. 15 Apr 2002
