​Em Santarém, homem perde balsa, pega lancha para tentar embarcar no rio e vai parar na água após naufrágio

Lancha vira no rio Tapajós Redes Sociais Uma tentativa frustrada de embarque terminou em naufrágio na manhã deste sábado (6) no Rio Amazonas, em Santarém, no oeste do Pará. Um homem, que havia perdido o horário de partida de uma balsa com destino à comunidade de Santana do Tapará, pegou uma lancha rápida para tentar alcançar a embarcação principal em movimento, mas o plano deu errado e o barco menor acabou afundando. De acordo com testemunhas, a balsa já havia deixado o porto quando o passageiro chegou. ​Durante a manobra de aproximação, o condutor da lancha acabou perdendo o controle e a embarcação acabou sendo atingida pelo forte banzeiro (ondas causadas por grandes embarcações) da balsa, o que causou o naufrágio imediato da pequena embarcação. ​"Foi tudo muito rápido. A balsa já estava navegando e a lancha tentou encostar de lado para o homem subir. Nisso, a lancha virou e começou a afundar", relatou uma passageira que presenciou a cena. Apesar do susto, os dois homens que ocupavam a lancha (o piloto e o passageiro) conseguiram se manter na superfície e foram socorridos rapidamente por tripulantes da própria balsa. Ninguém ficou ferido. ​A lancha, que chegou a submergir completamente nas águas do Rio Amazonas, foi amarrada e içada com a ajuda de cabos de aço e o suporte de outras embarcações que cobrem a linha Santarém-Santana do Tapará. As autoridades portuárias alertam que a prática de tentar embarcar ou desembarcar de balsas em movimento utilizando barcos menores é extremamente perigosa e contraria as normas de segurança da navegação fluvial. Nota da marinha Em nota, a equipe da Capitania Fluvial de Santarém informou que foi até o local verificar, possíveis feridos pus desaparecido nenhum registo oficial até o momento somente danos materiais, e será aberto IAFN para apurar a causas do ocorrido.
