The bodies of three victims have been found in the Turkish shipwreck. Why are the chances of survival in maritime accidents so small?

A few days ago, a shipwreck occurred in the Black Sea waters of Türkiye. In the end, six crew members were finally rescued from the accident and the bodies of the three victims were found. Finally, according to relevant investigations, the shipwreck was caused by local bad weather.

Speaking of shipwrecks, but why are the odds of survival in a maritime accident so slim? I think there are several reasons:

First, because humans are terrestrial creatures. If you fall into the sea, you won't be able to breathe through gills like many marine animals. If a person falls into the water. Then you can only hold your breath in the water. Otherwise, if you choke on too much water, you are likely to choke to death. And if humans fall into the sea, they can only use the buoyancy of swimming to keep themselves afloat. Instead of letting yourself stand on the water. When a person's physical energy is exhausted, then you will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea. But if a person cannot swim, encountering such a shipwreck is almost a direct death sentence.

The second is that the risk factor in the sea is higher than that in ordinary waters. Putting aside the dangerous fish such as sharks in the sea, the dangerous environment above is enough to pose a serious threat to human life. If the water was shallower, there might be a chance of survival. If you are in the deep sea, and strong winds and huge waves hit you from time to time, then it can be said that your chance of survival is extremely slim. Moreover, the temperature difference between day and night on the sea surface is large. If you have not been rescued for a day, you are likely to be so cold that you lose consciousness and lose the ability to move. Finally lost his life on the sea.

The third reason is the lack of fresh water and food on the sea. Such as falling into the sea after encountering a shipwreck. If no rescue ship arrives for a long time, most people will die of starvation or dehydration in the end. Because seawater contains a lot of salt, under normal circumstances, humans cannot drink it directly. If you are thirsty and drink a lot of sea water. Then it will suck out the water in your body, causing you to die of dehydration. And there is almost no edible food in the ocean, so after certain accidents, people's chances of survival will be greatly reduced.

Fourthly, the surface area of ??the sea is very wide. The sea area accounts for most of the earth's surface area. If a ship has an accident at sea. In addition, there are problems with positioning, so you can imagine how difficult it is to find an accident ship in a vast sea. There is no reference on the sea, and the wind and waves on the sea can be said to be very large. If you encounter danger in it. Even the arrival of rescue planes and rescue ships. Rescue efforts were also quite difficult.
