SIX students who decided to take a worn out fishing boat across a lake drowned yesterday in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, while one was rescued and survived, China Central Television reported.

The old boat, no longer in use, had seven grade-six students aboard when it began to leak when it entered deep water in Qilu Lake in Tonghai County, Yunnan Province. All of the students fell into the water as the boat sank.

By 10pm yesterday, only the one students had been recovered, the report said.
