According to the District Fire Marshal's Command, a light suddenly flashed during the trip. While the crew was checking the engine compartment, they found that it was already under water.

The Rust firefighter was then brought to the rescue.
At the rescue of nearly three hours, which was very difficult because of the location and always increasing waves, added the firefighters of Rust, Neusiedl am See and Oggau and the dive service the fire brigade of Burgenland. The boat was towed into Ruster harbor and raised out of the water by the crane. The cause of water penetration and the exact damage must be determined in the coming days by a specialized firm.
