Rowers had to be rescued when their boat sank during a race at a Buddhist festival in Thailand.
The 19 contestants were paddling along the muddy river for the Um Phra Dam Nam Festival but lost control as the vessel was steered off-course and then snapped in half because of the swift currents in Phetchabun province on October 15.
