Thaiyotakamli Supersonic April 16, 2014 Share April 16, 2014 (edited) No one talk about this? Pray for the missing one to be found and RIP to the student and woman who didnt make it P.S some of the news said 300+ still went missing http://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/15/world/asia/south-korea-sinking-ship-students/ Seoul, South Korea (CNN) - Rescue boats and helicopters scrambled to pluck passengers, most of them high school students, from a ferry as it listed and slowly sank off the southwest coast of South Korea on Wednesday. It's unclear exactly how many of the 477 people on board were rescued. Many jumped from the listing ship to the freezing waters below. At one point, South Korean authorities said 386 passengers had been rescued and that 104 remain unaccounted for. But later Wednesday, they said they couldn't provide exact numbers. What is known is that at least two people -- a woman and a student -- were confirmed dead. The rescue operation was still underway six hours after the ferry first sent out distress signal. Authorities could not immediately say what caused the ship to sink. The weather at the time of the incident in the area was clear. 'I wanted to live' Among the passengers the ferry, Sewol, was carrying were 325 students. The group left from the port city of Incheon, just west of Seoul, for a four-day trip to the resort island of Jeju. Around 9 a.m. local time, the ferry sent out its first distress call. It had begun to list. Edited April 16, 2014 by Thaiyotakamli ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2BDriver Hypersonic April 16, 2014 Share April 16, 2014 (edited) Just heard channel 8 news said that the ship collided into the shallow coral and grounded then capsize, 2 pax demised, RIP to both of them Edited April 16, 2014 by Fongmy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxilplix Turbocharged April 16, 2014 Share April 16, 2014 Yeah looks pretty bad. Whole vessel is flipped over with keel facing the sky. Only hope is that the water seems to be pretty shallow and hopefully there are air pockets in the ship. But the watertight doors and such will need to be doing their job. Seems like a lot of people still missing and might be trapped inside. My thoughts are with them and the Coast Guard/Navy guys who are working to save them. It's still pretty chilly up there past sunset, anyone in the water is not going to survive the night. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not even survive one night. I'm going with my wife and kids so no coconut girls allowed. Next time we organize one just for all the bros 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSP415 Supersonic April 16, 2014 Share April 16, 2014 Mostly high school students still missing. RIP to the 2 confirmed casualties. Let's hope for all the others to be rescued soon. Land, sea, space and sky disasters..... with quicker access to news, we seem to be surrounded with such sad news one after another. Cherish loved ones and leave out the coconut, pineapple or rambuttan gals.... If in same mode of travel, likely perish together. Safe ride Cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
