Rage: South Korean Prime Minister Chung Hong-won (left, in glasses) is shielded by his bodyguards from a bottle of water thrown by an angry relative of passengers on the capsized ferry Sewol. Nearly 300 people remain unaccounted for


Desperate: A relative of a passenger on board a sunken ferry in South Korea slaps a government official



Agony: A list of survivors is attached to the wall of a gym in Jindo. Terrified parents approach to see if they can find the names of their children


how horrible, they stopped searching at night? like i know theres no light but that's when it's most crucial to go wtf. families getting their own boats and going out, id do the same but then imagine people waiting for rescue and there's a boat there but they're only looking for their family. & srsly imagine going up to that board frantically looking for your relatives name and not seeing it or seeing it but it could be someone with the same name :/

quite sickening to see all the cameras pointing at that woman in the last one :/ leave her be people don't need to be bombarded with cameras when they're finding out if their friends and family r still alive or not

people could be alive if there are air pockets in the boat

other than that they can't confirm a death unless they have a body, unless thats what you mean, whats taking so long to pull out bodies?

ok this is hard to describe
they were reporting 179 survivors removed in the first day, after that they haven't pulled anyone else out dead/alive have they? because every report still says 179 have been rescued
2 confirmed dead early on then 9 then 14, so did they pull out 14 dead in the first few hours just couldn't confirm it?

18 confirmed now, unless they're being found in the water

why dont all boats have special rooms with tanks of air so people can survive for weeks
this happens too much

Have you ever tried looking for items in the ocean at night time? It's not an easy task and the temperatures and current weather hasn't been helping them.

Money and I don't even know if that would help realistically.

You'd have to effectively build a submarine inside every ship. Not exactly cheap, practical or even all that helpful 99% of the time.

Such a sad story

all those poor people this is actually so awful. eurgh that's disgusting if the captain told them to stay where they were

Obviously no-one yet knows what really happened but the captain maybe thought the ship would stabilise. If the ship really did tilt as quickly as reports are suggesting then it would have been pretty impossible to use the life boats etc. and with the water being so cold and the currents being so strong, people would probably have died of hypothermia had they jumped in the sea. He probably feared the chaos that would ensue had he told them to evacuate straight away

some people jumped into sea as it was going down and some that jumped got rescued idk about them all, there's not much detail
i think they only used 1 out of 47 of the lifeboats on the ferry
& the captain is under fire cause he told them to stay on the ferry then he was one of the first to go out and get rescued, captains are supposed to wait until everyone is off before they go apparently.. but he's a 68 year old man or somethin what else was he to do
