    The statement at the beginning when the girl says "those that listened to instruction died and those that didn't lived." I felt that, along with other statements. Those kids were doing as they were told and died being obedient and that breaks my heart. If they were given the opposite instructions most if not all of them could have survived. That hurts.

There's a reason why school kids should attend it. There should be a line between completely obeying and not obeying at all. Maybe it would have saved your life in this particular situation, but does breaking rules help you when you want to find a job? A definite no.

    Only advice you can give to anyone on a sinking ship is:
    1. Don't get trapped inside. Stay outside, stay on top, stay visible for rescuers.
    2. If there's time, find anything you can use to float with/on once the ship has sank.
    3. If you can see land, make your way towards it.

I know when ship sinking it is dangerous for anybody around the ship, because it will pull water and things around the vessel as they sunk, like strong gravity, but it is much more better than trapped inside and do nothing.

      They offered to help with search of bodies afterwards as well but the conditions were so dismal that divers could not go in safely. They had made a list of safety conditions and improvements for the South Korean government to fulfill before they could help with the dive, but the South Korean government refused after seeing it and decided to move forward with rescue through another Korean company which proved largely unsuccessful.

The school also informed parents that all of them had been rescued due to this misinformation, and the parents cheered. But in reality it wasn't. Two hours after the misinformation, the parents could hear that most of the students had been locked up.

    The most disturbing aspect of this tragedy was that it was completely avoidable. Almost everyone on that ferry could have been saved if it weren't for the cultural need to put public image ahead of peoples lives. Instead of staging a rescue, misleading the public and then attempting a cover up, the authorities could have actually organised a successful rescue and saved hundreds of lives.
