The victims were all alive although in a state of fatigue.<br /><br />Footage shows the hapless fishing crew as they are being rescued by the navy officers. <br /><br />The fishing boat captain Sutham, 65, said their boat sank after the water pump broke.<br /><br />He said: "We sailed out from the shore earlier in the morning but after we arrived eight miles away from the shore, the water pump was jammed.<br /><br />"It caused the water to flood the boat. Then the boat sank so we tried to hang on to whatever we could grasp and had to struggle until we were rescued."<br /><br />Fortunately, none of the crew were seriously injured.<br /><br />The victims were rushed back to the Navy base to receive treatment before their family came to pick them to the hospital.
