Almost 270 people are still missing from a boat that sank off the southern coast of South Korea. Most of the missing are high school students.
The South Korean ferry Sewol was carrying about 475 passengers. It sank Wednesday morning near the island of Jindo. More than 25 people are confirmed dead. Rescuers have saved more than 175 people. But hopes of finding more survivors are decreasing.
Some of the passengers jumped in the water and were rescued by ships. Rescue teams and helicopters pulled others from the boat.
Student Kim Tae-yuon survived. He said, I held a handrail and moved toward the right side of the ferry to ride a helicopter as water kept coming in.
Another survivor, Cha Eun-ok, described the situation on the boat, I was keeping still without making any movement. There was an announcement that we should not move.
Oh Byung-Hwan is the father of a missing student. Like many parents, he expressed anger about the search effort.
He said there was no rescue effort on Wednesday. He said emergency workers could not get into the ferry. He said they just dove around the area.
Cho Kyung-mi is related to a missing student. She said too much time has passed.
She said, They should have rescued the children on the day it happened. What are they doing now? Three days have passed. She said, They must be cold and scared, deep underwater.
