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.

Zao Bao reported the aging Indian Navy Frigate "INS Vindhyagiri" capsized & sunk after a collison with a merchant ship. A chilly reminder of what happened just eight years ago to our very own patrol vessel collison incident when 4 female crew members were killed... Sad thing was one of the victims was never found. http://realtime.zaobao.com.sg/2011/01/110131_38.shtml (综合讯) 印度海军护卫舰与商船碰撞 爆炸起火后沉没 印度媒体报道，1月30日晚，在印度海军服役29年左右的利安德级护卫舰
