At the time of the incident, a passenger was desperate to jump into the ocean from the 3rd floor of KMP Batum. The panic passengers are making the ship more violent. A boat full of smoke is causing some passengers to asphyxiate.

"I happen to be in a towel, ginine... give you a little water, make it nice... breathe. The problem is that if I didn't use my towel earlier, it might have passed out," he said.
