‘Everything happened so fast…very little time to react’

Survivors of the Pomeroon River mishap are still coming to grips with the traumatic events that led to the death of cameraman, Trevor Patrick, 48-years-old of Charity Housing Scheme.

They said they are counting their blessings to be alive after their horrific experience on November, 9.

There were seven passengers on the Adaman-tium Holdings-owned boat trailing President Irfaan Ali’s delegation. On board were the President’s communications officer, Dhanash Ramroop, and two cameramen, Keon Blades and Jose Cheddi from the Office of the President, all of whom were assigned to cover  Ali’s Pomeroon visit and meeting with flood-affected farmers.
