I fairly recently got into her videos and have probably heard/watched all her stories playing in the background while I’m playing Xbox I first hear of her a few years ago during the Nikocado Avocado drama
She did leave out a few things and clips I thought were important, but I do agree that she did a really good job and put a lot of research and effort into her video and I'm really grateful that she uses her platform to spread awareness about tragedies that got covered up to other people and not letting the victims and their loved ones be forgotten.
the fact that this was easily 100% preventable is so infuriating to me. those passengers would still be alive today if it weren't for the capitalist greed, egos, and incompetence of the people in power. it really just gets worse and worse the more you learn about it. i hope the survivors and the victims' loved ones are healing as much as they can
Agreed. The fact that EVERY SINGLE person on that ship could have been saved MULTIPLE TIMES and each time, it was pride, greed, selfishness and lack of human empathy that killed hundreds of innocent people and that this whole tragedy was 100% preventable. The worst part is that the victims KNEW that they aren't going to be saved and that they were abandoned and left to die slow, agonising and terrifying deaths as the ship sinks deeper and deeper into the ocean and that makes me so sick and heartbroken every time I think of the incident and how much the loved ones of those that died are still suffering to this day.
Compare this to the titanic making this even more crazy, all the engineers on titanic stayed so lights on ship can last as long as possible, the captain also went down with the ship and all crews member helped evacuate the passengers, the Carpathia ship traveled as fast as it could and avoid all iceberg on the way and saved 706 people which is all the people that survived the titanic sinking. Meanwhile 22 crews member out of 29 in the the Korea ferry fled along with the captain and let the children died, the coast guard also was negligence to the rescue. The band members on the Titanic was more brave than the Korean coast guard is ridiculous.
Ive heard this story more times than i can count and everytime i come across it, it never gets easier to hear. The fury and anger and disbelief I experience is something I cant even express. I dont know if me being a teacher is why I feel furious no matter what, but what I do know is that all those "responsible" are straight up cold blooded murders for blatantly watching hundrends of children die to save face.
I love Stephanie. She always tells these stories so well. It really makes you focus on everything and really FEEL what the people in these tragedies felt. She humanizes all the victims so well. A lot of people who tell these "true crime" stories just speak very factually but stephanie does so well reminding you that these are REAL people. People usually forget that.
the kids being more selfless and courageous, even risking their life vests to one another, more than the adults speaks volumes. People can really grow up into monsters.
Thanks for watching this. Love Stephanie💛 she does detailed depth storytelling. I recommend to react to the “Itaewon Tragedy” which is also a heartbreaking story.
I was flabbergasted when I woke up one morning, and there was news about that everywhere. It was so bizzare to me that an incident like that happened in this day and age for some reason.
To give you some perspective, in a typical dive recovery it usually takes about 4 divers to retrieve ONE body. These volunteer divers are HEROS. Bodies will naturally float, it takes so much strength and power to pull a body out of a sunken ship while trying to keep it in tact. The UA-cam channel DiveTalk has several videos reviewing dive recovery film. It is a highly physical and highly technical feat to recover loved ones
Thank you NSD for doing this. The thing that the surviving students want the most is that their friends and classmates " will NEVER be forgotten". In the MV in the laundry room scene on the dryers is a sign that says Never Forget. Notice how the dryer windows look like portholes on a ship and you can see Jin representing a student inside. Thank you for making us remember again.😢
Thank you for watching this video. I hope you can do more Rotten Mango videos Stephanie is an amazing storyteller and the stories she covers are very interesting
Younjae from Got7 with a ribbon tattoo on his arm, cuz one of his teacher of his highschool died in that ferry too. Thank you for the video and very detail information about this terrible tragedy, what I watched this news on social media and news from Hong Kong, what I just know from it are small parts of it, like, wrong information for the "wrecking crew" , the captain and ferry crews run away from the ferry, 350 died, "wrecking crews" didn't work as they got no orders and 2 girls (students) bodies found in water of so far away from crime scene 2 years later, they were identified because we were wearing school uniforms.... I am Hongkongese, we had a very similar tragedy in my hometown few years ago, I feel so bad about this tragedy and so helpless for all this hell situation. We kept watching news and trying to see someone saved by crews, but we always have to adapt to the harsh reality. How ridiculous this is. What we could do is stay strong and pray for those victims, parents and those kids and people who are in heaven.
The whole “got everything under control” is enough to say they didn’t care and I just don’t know anymore like these kids needed help they lost their life’s all they say is “sorry” sorry really sorry isn’t gonna undue this damage
Incompetence? It's not only incompetence or negligence, it's murder with your eyes wide open and not wanting to do anything. Like literally, all the people who were supposed to help were literally " I don't want to."
If you watch the Red Velvet One of These Night music video, it also tells about tragedy, where in the music video it tells the point of view of friends and parents or people who were left behind, and how in the music video they survive and are just joy. who is told about surviving the tragedy, you can check and see it, and when this mini album was released, Yeri's face (the maknae, who was still 17 or 18 years old was blurred because Yeri was the same age as the victims)
I still can’t forget the story of the girl who didn’t want to go and her mom really wanted her to go to enjoy herself 😭😭😭 I literally randomly think of that story every year it’s so sad
This is an un-fathomable tragedy that could have %1000 been prevented, had people not been so incompetent, greedy, and prideful. So so so many prayers and healing to the families and loved ones of these innocent victims. My heart is broken for them all, I could not stop crying throughout this whole video. I remember when this happened, I live in the U.S, and I was listening to a song from The Ark. it’s based on this incident and I remember just being.. absolutely horrified and disgusted and just so many emotions. I felt pain for the family’s and so much white hot anger. This will never ever be forgotten, the world remembers 💛
I already saw this video but I still cry just watching it through this reaction. Stephanie is always great with informing us with every single detail and covering all sides. A tragedy like this couldn't have happened if such corruption didn't exist. Rest in peace and fly high, passengers of the Sewol..
Also, base on the start of the video, i can almost see why the captain tried so hard to cover this incident. Like, overload cargo, choosing risky route, risky decision making, these a lone can put him in jail. I believe his thought was like "save life or not, imma be throwed in jail anyway so why not escape first"
To care more about your image than the lives of all these young innocent lives is disgusting and disturbing. It breaks my heart hearing the mother that told her kid to listen to the adults not knowing those cowardly adults had already abandoned to save their own skin. Very sad situation.
this is the most frustrating situation ever like it’s actually so ridiculous it makes me so angry every time i hear about it. im glad that u guys reacted to this and learned about this horrific event.
You really should watch 'Korean Billionaire "With No Face" Mysteriously Linked To 32 Dead People in Attic'. It explains a lot about why the ship was in horrible condition. Also sheds light to the 'alleged' owner.
Its just so scary that there are so many selfish and irresponsible people in this world that we didn't know before until this kind of tragedy happened. Like you said it doesn't feel real because of how bizarre and horrendous it is.
You should react to her video of the Itaewon Halloween tragedy next! Last week was the anniversary of the second saddest event in the Korean history against the youth of Korea after the Sewol ferry tragedy ! 🥲
i would love to see you guys react on more of rotten mango vedios which covered the bullying case in south korea and you'll know the incompetence and ignorance the goverment and the law shows there in south korea...it is so sad everytime i see this vedio i end up bursting in tears thinking of the students..i am a student myself and can never imagine something like that happen to me or my friends or even random classmates...RIP
Mr and MZ mango are amazing they handle every case with so much grace.. this and a few others on her page made me cry so hard, the others being what happened in the itawon stampede, and there's one where a group of HUGE body builder type guys jumped a group of girls all because he was embarrassed because she didn't give him her number!! Edit: y'all I'm crying 😭 again!!
I have now watched this specific podcast from rotten mango 6 times. With you, guys 7 times and I still cry. I am not even from the same continent but it still hits hard. I can feel my heart beart constricting so much it hurts....😢
I am so glad you reacted to this video. This story is so heartbreaking. I’ve seen it twice now and the amount of tears I get is insane. I hope you react to more rotten mango. 💜
"I lost the Pearl as I lost my leg!" "Lost the Pearl?" "Aye. I defended her mightily enough, but she be sunk nonetheless." "If that ship be sunk properly, you should be sunk with it." HECTOR BARBOSSA AND JACK SPARROW
Although I love Stephanie, she did get the captain’s verdict backwards and how the accident happened wrong. The captain was originally given 36 years then the prosecutors appealed and he got life instead, and the 3rd mate was not paying any attention to what the helmsman was doing when he tried to fix the original list and she told him to turn in the opposite direction and he did and very sharply which caused the list( that was in official report
Also, i'm not a bts fan so before watching this video, whenever i saw the mv title "spring days" i always thought "ah, what a lovely title!" I cant never look at that title the same way anymore.
The ship sinking is what happened but the government actually un-alived those kids, due to PRIDE! 😢😢 RIP TO ALL THE SWEET ANGELS 🕊️ THAT WERE LOST IN THIS TRAGEDY!!
Next in line comment: “Body not recovered for three years “ Some bodies were not recover until after the MV Sewol Ho was lifted from the bottom of the sea and returned to land (Where she is to this day 2024.04.24.)
If i was one of those civilian divers i would have broken down crying after a few hours like the bravery these people have/had to be able to do this for months on end...
Its incredibly frustrating to watch the clips of the parents in agony and being denied and lied to. It reminds me of the fact that the government as a collective can do whatever it wants and that they can literally deny your childs life in front of you and you wont be able to do anything. Besides just turning into a criminal and ending every single person who is denying you at the moment with some sort of weapon, and then getting arrested afterwards.
When you search up the students who died in this tragedy, you will see info and pictures of them as children. Those cute pictures will break your heart no matter how many walls you have built around it.
You still don't know everything... there are reports that in the ship, there were safety manholes separating the engineering room and lower decks. Regulation said they were all to be closed at all times fpr safety so water won't flood the ship in case of emergency. When the ferry was brought up, the found that most of the manholes were opened. And apparently (read from the internet somewhere) some of the people died from hypothermia - which means they waited for rescue for a long time, while no one above the sea level tried to help quickly. Except their devastated parents and others who were not allowed by South Korean authorities to help at all.
2:10:10 I think you should react to that video there. SPOILER ALERT Basically shamanism in this instance isn't just oh I have a shaman, or I am a shaman and I do vodoo nonsense or whatever. It's basically letting a shaman or confidant use her like a puppet. Now that's very a imprecise rendering of it for the case of Park Geun-Hye. Simply because of the normativity of a South Korean shaman and who exactly was pulling the strings whilst she was in power. And before that! So yeah thats why I highly recommend you watch the video that she made on her other channel.
Even if the captain didn't want to say he was the captain, he could have at least said I heard the intercoms keep repeating to stay put and to not move like it was a glitch in the intercom system. Like anything would have been better then what he did. Also this happened to a ship called the costa concordia where the captain and some of the crew bailed telling the passengers to stay in the cabins, wasting valuable rescue time telling the government that everything was fine. But Italy and the government officials knew how to save the people, knew when people were lying to them. South Korea's government was so much worse that it astounds me that no one had a backbone or an ounce of leadership and command to just say "f*ck all of you I'm going to see if there are more people".
I remember hearing that one radio recording of an Italian Coast Guard Captain just chewing out the 'captain' for abandoning ship. He said "You may have saved your own a**, but I will absolutely nail you to the wall for this. You will not get away with what you did. I will make it my mission to make sure you go to prison'. It was glorious. If only the South Koreans had swallowed their pride and accepted help from the US and Japanese military vessels, those kids would still be alive today. Those military vessels should of said 'screw it' and forced their way in. Political fallout can happen later; those kids should of been their priority.
1:49:53 Yeah, I don't want to be a Debbie downer.But the reason why she says that the death is suspicious is because when officers first found the body, it was unrecognizable, and the government previously said that it was a homeless man and its next to impossible to get a DNA or fingerprint match but then later they said that they were able to get a full handle print match.
I'd seen this before, but what blows my mind this time is while I was listening I kept think she was answering your questions and not her producer's. LOL.
The USS Bonhomme Richard was the navy ship that tried to help the ferry my brother was on that ship as navy personnel who wanted to help the sewol ferry. He said alot of the crew broke down when they found out all those kids died.
BTS and all the idols are impressive, and I appreciate everyone who showed their support. It's a sad situation, and my heart goes out to the family. Losing a loved one is never easy.
If only someone, anyone on that ship had shut off or screamed over that stupid recording Abandon Ship !! Get on deck.... share a life jacket.... get out now the ship is sinking
I was a senior in high school learning Korean when this event happened. I drew a pastel portrait of the sinking ferry at night, and in college I wrote a fictional story based on the event. This really impacted a part of my life and I don’t even live in South Korea. But I was just about as young as the kids at the time 😢
I'm going to be honest I got so emotional and frustrated with the whole thing I started crying I had to take a break from watching I'm so frustrated nobody did anything to help them it pisses me off how selfish people are and how adults failed these kids it's really and I feel really bad for all the parents
I'd also recommend FatalBreakdown's video on the Sewol Ferry tragedy as well, he too did a lot of research with extra details and a timeline of the events during the incident of the sinking ship, in case you're interested. It's 15 minutes long. I'm glad that various content creators used their platforms to spread awareness about the Sewol Ferry tragedy to people and letting the world know the truth about what really happened to the victims and their loved ones.
How the heck could you eat, knowing something like that was happening? I don't think I'm going to eat anything tonight, just from watching this. It was a very good video though, I'm now subbed to this channel and the channel being reacted to.
The U.S navy being ready to assist and being turned down is one of the worst parts as they had the equipment and experience that would have saved way more lives. The Japanese navy also offered help and were ready to send another helicopter that had the rescue equipment and experienced crew needed but were also refused. President Park being elected was always a strange one being the daughter of a previous dictator who caused a lot of problems. South Korea was only about 10 years into peaceful transfers of power though so I guess some of the corruption was sticking around. She was a lot like her dad, more concerned with herself and her own image and continued the connection to a weird shaman cult who's leader had been a bit of a Rasputin figure in her dad's cabinet, influencing decisions. She was friends with his daughter from a young age so she also had a shaman whispering in her ear in the form of the guy's daughter. She used her connections to President Park to get her daughter into an elite school without the proper grades and also on to an Olympic team that actually went to the Olympics. That's how messed up the government was at the time of this tragedy. When news of the accident came to the President, she was apparently still sleeping and told her staff to not bother her for a few more hours and then they wanted to set up a video feed which wasted even more time.
Honestly, with those incidents of mostly just young people dying because of government, like here or with Itaewon, it's no wonder Koreans don't want children. I wouldn't want either and have their lives be in the hands of government who clearly couldn't care less. I know it's probably just one of the reasons, but those incidents alone tell me to not have children.. at least not in Korea.
18:36 I can give more degree but based on the testimony of the two there that I've read, it wasnt intentional, the steering seemed to be still turning in one direction on it's own Some directions, an accidental overcorrection from the 3rd mate who exclaimed that the wheel wasn't working or smth So the initial 5 was okay. Overcorrection or misunderstanding added 10 degrees 22:40 idk if she shows it here but it gave this huge af slam Apparently passengers heard something and in some places the lights mightve flickered
Comment in line: on April 15-16, the MV Sewol Ho had 3 Captains: Regular Captain Shin on personal leave (¿Why?); Substitute Captain Lee (¿What was his temporary contract? ¿What was his lead time to prepare?); Promoted-at-sea Captain Park (When the Captain, Chief Engineer, First Officer, Second Officer disembarked, they left Third Officer Park Han-kyul the highest ranking officer on board, therefore, by law, Captain of the Sewol for about an hour. At this point, looking for a report of her disembark.
1:26:01 Someone remind me to grab the source but I 1:26:14 To me she does ; 1:26:33 I figured that's why she looked over (the way Stephanie demonstrated too) 1:42:12 (Oh that -- one of the phone calls that Stephanie mentions about the person in contact with traffic control was like "a helicopter and vessel; how soon? It's difficult to move bc of the tilting - which is techincally corroborated by the victim's videos) ; and then they were like "if they jump, will they be saved immediately? The water's really cold so they might" smth smth hypothermia. That's mentioned a bit at the end 2:08:03 Went looking for a quote I thought I read about Park watching and workers saying "we gotta pretend/try to look like we're doing something in front of her" - instead found that there was a section of MIA time where she was getting her hair done for 90 minutes before showing up in front of the camera oh here's a quote A mother of a victim who died in the ship, *Goh Young Hee*, could not hide her anger against the President during her interview with a *CBS* radio show on December 7. She said, "" "," the mother cried out. ...oh the "she intentionally got that hair done" part was because the stylist was "instructed to make it seem like the President showed up in a hurry, by making the up-do messier than usual. "
1:38:32 Addendum: the Three Captains need more recognition. The story needs to start on 2014.03.01 - CaptaIn Shin’s relationship with the company, especially a request for maintenance on 2014.04.01. The reason for the turn: Third Officer Park (an educated and experienced Merchant Marine Officer- ask her professor) took multiple bearing on another vessel in the passage and determined that the two vessels were on a collision course and observed that the Sewol was the, “ privileged vessel “ to take early and substantial action to avoid the predicted collision. (I have to go to work now - 2024.04.24:1409 Mina Sharon’s Texas time, I will start over tomorrow) Again, If you want to know the root cause, start following the three Captains from 2014.03.01 hour by hour to 2014.01.20. bye
2024.04.29 @SewolHoONCE back one more time regarding the, “3 Captains of the Sewol.” UA-cam did not give us the required information, so we went back to Wikipedia. Captain Shin, who knew the condition of the ship, was fired before the 15-16 voyage started. Long-term replacement (not temporary substitute) Captain Lee was relieved of duty at 0916, about half an hour before he disembarked. He was legitimately out of the Captain’s uniform when he disembarked. Coast Guard Headquarters ordered the master of Patrol Ship 123 to take total command of the situation at 0916, but he did not know what to do. Park Han-kyul, Third Office, also lost her officer’s commission at 0916. Her alleged promotion-at-sea never happened; the master of 123 was already legally in command even though he had no idea what he was supposed to be doing! We, therefore, request a long report on Shin, Lee, Park, and nameless 123.
With the former President Park's connections to shamanism, I've seen other people on other videos about this theorize she needed...you know, for her religion😨🤬🤢
The MV explanation only covers the very surface details of this horrific tragedy unfortunately and not the full truth and the incredibly cruel events that had happened and I really wish more people would read or watch videos about the full story like this video right here to learn about what had actually happened and how cruel and horrifying it actually was. More people need to be aware of this incident and far too many people only know about the basics of this tragedy by watching short videos like the Spring Day explanation and that is a shame. This wasn't just a freak accident, it was an incredibly monstrous series of intentional events that had lead to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people that had lost their lives way too soon.
Even if it was some of the strongest windows in the world, you can't tell me they couldn't take some type of saw saw to it. Pressure is different than cutting. You get what I'm saying. Those windows like that are made for pressure, but you put a blade up to something with the jagged edges and start going at 1000 RP m's. It's gonna cut through it if I cut through sheet metal all day with saw saw blades you can't tell me they can't cut through thick a** fiberglass. Or at least try
@@MySerpentine who had a saw saw? I mean every block in America has someone with one and that's just a normal one, emergency services have way bigger and better cutting devices... plus even if didn't they could have gotten one in 30 mins..i mean i don't believe one second this "accident" was an accident. They could have gotten torches to cut in the beginning, hell... put inflatables under it... and imean so many inflatables that the people putting it under the boat would be in no type of danger plus sometimes you have to put yourself in danger to save people hell bring 10 helicopters 20 helicopters and hook them to it wherever can to at least slow down.. i don't know if that is rediculous suggestion because idon't know aeronautical engineering, but iwouldn't have cared.. if ihad money and power that boat would have not sunk with that many people on it.. don't care what people might criticize about later saying that was an crazy idea.... fuck em as long as kids were saved
@@DoNkEy_LoVE Seems more like a clusterfuck of buck-passing to me. No reason for the ship to have a saw like that, and if anyone else had one they were too busy with simultaneously doing nothing and being too proud to accept help. It was a case where literally everyone responsible was incompetent.

Thats basically what it means 1:57:21 but I guess it's that he was acquitted of the original charge and slapped a new charge which gives him 36 years.
The whole “got everything under control” is enough to say they didn’t care and I just don’t know anymore like these kids needed help they lost their life’s all they say is “sorry” sorry really sorry isn’t gonna undue this damage

Its just so scary that there are so many selfish and irresponsible people in this world that we didn't know before until this kind of tragedy happened. Like you said it doesn't feel real because of how bizarre and horrendous it is.
You should react to her video of the Itaewon Halloween tragedy next! Last week was the anniversary of the second saddest event in the Korean history against the youth of Korea after the Sewol ferry tragedy ! 🥲
no matter how many times i watch that video i cant help but cry every time those poor kids
Fr…
i would love to see you guys react on more of rotten mango vedios which covered the bullying case in south korea and you'll know the incompetence and ignorance the goverment and the law shows there in south korea...it is so sad everytime i see this vedio i end up bursting in tears thinking of the students..i am a student myself and can never imagine something like that happen to me or my friends or even random classmates...RIP
Mr and MZ mango are amazing they handle every case with so much grace.. this and a few others on her page made me cry so hard, the others being what happened in the itawon stampede, and there's one where a group of HUGE body builder type guys jumped a group of girls all because he was embarrassed because she didn't give him her number!!
Edit: y'all I'm crying 😭 again!!
i thought korea would learn from this to have more safety precautions but then halloween itaewon happened and i knew that we as humans never learn
I have now watched this specific podcast from rotten mango 6 times. With you, guys 7 times and I still cry. I am not even from the same continent but it still hits hard. I can feel my heart beart constricting so much it hurts....😢
This girl's name is Stephanie soo and she also covered the itaewon tragedy you should watch that as well
I am so glad you reacted to this video. This story is so heartbreaking. I’ve seen it twice now and the amount of tears I get is insane.
I hope you react to more rotten mango.
💜
i never gonna stop recommending the light by the ark. the song was sooooo beautiful but soooo much painful. i hope one day you will watch it.
This is really devastating 😭
The itaewon Halloween 2022 tragedy //rotten mango
The Captain Is Beyond Evil...…I Can't Believe It. Not Even The Most Evil Super Villon Would Think Of Doing That.
Wow it was so tragic.. THANKS FOR REACTING it also spreads the awareness
"I lost the Pearl as I lost my leg!"
"Lost the Pearl?"
"Aye. I defended her mightily enough, but she be sunk nonetheless."
"If that ship be sunk properly, you should be sunk with it."
HECTOR BARBOSSA AND JACK SPARROW
Love that more and more people are reacting to Stephanie soo's content!!
Although I love Stephanie, she did get the captain’s verdict backwards and how the accident happened wrong. The captain was originally given 36 years then the prosecutors appealed and he got life instead, and the 3rd mate was not paying any attention to what the helmsman was doing when he tried to fix the original list and she told him to turn in the opposite direction and he did and very sharply which caused the list( that was in official report
Ask to see Captain Shin’s request for maintenance submitted on 2014.04.01.
Please do more of rotten mango. Stephanie is a really good story teller, you guys won't be disappointed.
4:40 yeah I assume they are made out of acrylic like how aquariums are instead of glass
Omg! NSD reacting to Stephanie 😮 My 2 worlds collided…
sameeeee
Also, i'm not a bts fan so before watching this video, whenever i saw the mv title "spring days" i always thought "ah, what a lovely title!"
I cant never look at that title the same way anymore.
The ship sinking is what happened but the government actually un-alived those kids, due to PRIDE! 😢😢 RIP TO ALL THE SWEET ANGELS 🕊️ THAT WERE LOST IN THIS TRAGEDY!!
I cannot get over the fact MARINES were there but the pride of the officials denied them.
Next in line comment: “Body not recovered for three years “ Some bodies were not recover until after the MV Sewol Ho was lifted from the bottom of the sea and returned to land (Where she is to this day 2024.04.24.)
If i was one of those civilian divers i would have broken down crying after a few hours like the bravery these people have/had to be able to do this for months on end...
Its incredibly frustrating to watch the clips of the parents in agony and being denied and lied to. It reminds me of the fact that the government as a collective can do whatever it wants and that they can literally deny your childs life in front of you and you wont be able to do anything. Besides just turning into a criminal and ending every single person who is denying you at the moment with some sort of weapon, and then getting arrested afterwards.
When you search up the students who died in this tragedy, you will see info and pictures of them as children. Those cute pictures will break your heart no matter how many walls you have built around it.
You still don't know everything... there are reports that in the ship, there were safety manholes separating the engineering room and lower decks. Regulation said they were all to be closed at all times fpr safety so water won't flood the ship in case of emergency. When the ferry was brought up, the found that most of the manholes were opened.
And apparently (read from the internet somewhere) some of the people died from hypothermia - which means they waited for rescue for a long time, while no one above the sea level tried to help quickly. Except their devastated parents and others who were not allowed by South Korean authorities to help at all.
This tragedy was so sad and the captain didn't care about them and BTS dedicated Spring Day to this tragedy
2:10:10 I think you should react to that video there.
SPOILER ALERT
Basically shamanism in this instance isn't just oh I have a shaman, or I am a shaman and I do vodoo nonsense or whatever.
It's basically letting a shaman or confidant use her like a puppet.
Now that's very a imprecise rendering of it for the case of Park Geun-Hye. Simply because of the normativity of a South Korean shaman and who exactly was pulling the strings whilst she was in power. And before that!
So yeah thats why I highly recommend you watch the video that she made on her other channel.
This is my first time to watch your channel. I enjoyed both of your reactions and comments. Thanks.
Even if the captain didn't want to say he was the captain, he could have at least said I heard the intercoms keep repeating to stay put and to not move like it was a glitch in the intercom system. Like anything would have been better then what he did. Also this happened to a ship called the costa concordia where the captain and some of the crew bailed telling the passengers to stay in the cabins, wasting valuable rescue time telling the government that everything was fine. But Italy and the government officials knew how to save the people, knew when people were lying to them. South Korea's government was so much worse that it astounds me that no one had a backbone or an ounce of leadership and command to just say "f*ck all of you I'm going to see if there are more people".
I remember hearing that one radio recording of an Italian Coast Guard Captain just chewing out the 'captain' for abandoning ship. He said "You may have saved your own a**, but I will absolutely nail you to the wall for this. You will not get away with what you did. I will make it my mission to make sure you go to prison'.
It was glorious. If only the South Koreans had swallowed their pride and accepted help from the US and Japanese military vessels, those kids would still be alive today. Those military vessels should of said 'screw it' and forced their way in. Political fallout can happen later; those kids should of been their priority.
Thank you guys for reacting to this 🙂
1:49:53 Yeah, I don't want to be a Debbie downer.But the reason why she says that the death is suspicious is because when officers first found the body, it was unrecognizable, and the government previously said that it was a homeless man and its next to impossible to get a DNA or fingerprint match but then later they said that they were able to get a full handle print match.
I'd seen this before, but what blows my mind this time is while I was listening I kept think she was answering your questions and not her producer's. LOL.
The USS Bonhomme Richard was the navy ship that tried to help the ferry my brother was on that ship as navy personnel who wanted to help the sewol ferry. He said alot of the crew broke down when they found out all those kids died.
BTS and all the idols are impressive, and I appreciate everyone who showed their support. It's a sad situation, and my heart goes out to the family. Losing a loved one is never easy.
My two favorite youtube channels in one video 😮
If only someone, anyone on that ship had shut off or screamed over that stupid recording Abandon Ship !! Get on deck.... share a life jacket.... get out now the ship is sinking
Another thing not mentioned is any artist or celebrity that were openly supporting it were blacklisted, BTS was almost blacklisted
I was a senior in high school learning Korean when this event happened. I drew a pastel portrait of the sinking ferry at night, and in college I wrote a fictional story based on the event. This really impacted a part of my life and I don’t even live in South Korea. But I was just about as young as the kids at the time 😢
I'm going to be honest I got so emotional and frustrated with the whole thing I started crying I had to take a break from watching I'm so frustrated nobody did anything to help them it pisses me off how selfish people are and how adults failed these kids it's really and I feel really bad for all the parents
I'd also recommend FatalBreakdown's video on the Sewol Ferry tragedy as well, he too did a lot of research with extra details and a timeline of the events during the incident of the sinking ship, in case you're interested. It's 15 minutes long.
I'm glad that various content creators used their platforms to spread awareness about the Sewol Ferry tragedy to people and letting the world know the truth about what really happened to the victims and their loved ones.
How the heck could you eat, knowing something like that was happening? I don't think I'm going to eat anything tonight, just from watching this. It was a very good video though, I'm now subbed to this channel and the channel being reacted to.
Even tho I watched this on paetreon gonna watch it hear again and again thank you so much for doing my request
The U.S navy being ready to assist and being turned down is one of the worst parts as they had the equipment and experience that would have saved way more lives. The Japanese navy also offered help and were ready to send another helicopter that had the rescue equipment and experienced crew needed but were also refused. President Park being elected was always a strange one being the daughter of a previous dictator who caused a lot of problems. South Korea was only about 10 years into peaceful transfers of power though so I guess some of the corruption was sticking around.
She was a lot like her dad, more concerned with herself and her own image and continued the connection to a weird shaman cult who's leader had been a bit of a Rasputin figure in her dad's cabinet, influencing decisions. She was friends with his daughter from a young age so she also had a shaman whispering in her ear in the form of the guy's daughter. She used her connections to President Park to get her daughter into an elite school without the proper grades and also on to an Olympic team that actually went to the Olympics. That's how messed up the government was at the time of this tragedy. When news of the accident came to the President, she was apparently still sleeping and told her staff to not bother her for a few more hours and then they wanted to set up a video feed which wasted even more time.
Honestly, with those incidents of mostly just young people dying because of government, like here or with Itaewon, it's no wonder Koreans don't want children. I wouldn't want either and have their lives be in the hands of government who clearly couldn't care less. I know it's probably just one of the reasons, but those incidents alone tell me to not have children.. at least not in Korea.
18:36 I can give more degree but based on the testimony of the two there that I've read, it wasnt intentional, the steering seemed to be still turning in one direction on it's own
Some directions, an accidental overcorrection from the 3rd mate who exclaimed that the wheel wasn't working or smth
So the initial 5 was okay. Overcorrection or misunderstanding added 10 degrees
22:40 idk if she shows it here but it gave this huge af slam
Apparently passengers heard something and in some places the lights mightve flickered
Legend says the captain can occasionally be seen there singing spring day from time to time
The route they took is what boats usually take, they're just extra careful going through the channel
Park Han-kyul’s service record shows she previously navigated the Maenggol Channel on a different vessel; she was not, “inexperienced.”
53:36 I think the black rubber boat isn’t civilian but I’m not sure
they (officials) definitely did something! YKWIM!
Wish more people would react to this and the Itaewon Tragedy.
Comment in line: on April 15-16, the MV Sewol Ho had 3 Captains: Regular Captain Shin on personal leave (¿Why?); Substitute Captain Lee (¿What was his temporary contract? ¿What was his lead time to prepare?); Promoted-at-sea Captain Park (When the Captain, Chief Engineer, First Officer, Second Officer disembarked, they left Third Officer Park Han-kyul the highest ranking officer on board, therefore, by law, Captain of the Sewol for about an hour. At this point, looking for a report of her disembark.
The abuse of deaf kids is another sad and unfair one 😢
I always cry watching this Rotten Mango video
Rip all beautiful souls
28:05 cameras. Survivors stories not corroborating
1:25:36 catfish? To receive the water bottles?
"Running around like a headless chicken"
1:26:01 Someone remind me to grab the source but I
1:26:14 To me she does ; 1:26:33 I figured that's why she looked over (the way Stephanie demonstrated too)
1:42:12 (Oh that -- one of the phone calls that Stephanie mentions about the person in contact with traffic control was like "a helicopter and vessel; how soon? It's difficult to move bc of the tilting - which is techincally corroborated by the victim's videos) ; and then they were like "if they jump, will they be saved immediately? The water's really cold so they might" smth smth hypothermia. That's mentioned a bit at the end
2:08:03 Went looking for a quote I thought I read about Park watching and workers saying "we gotta pretend/try to look like we're doing something in front of her" - instead found that there was a section of MIA time where she was getting her hair done for 90 minutes before showing up in front of the camera
oh here's a quote
A mother of a victim who died in the ship, *Goh Young Hee*, could not hide her anger against the President during her interview with a *CBS* radio show on December 7. She said, ""
"," the mother cried out.
...oh the "she intentionally got that hair done" part was because the stylist was "instructed to make it seem like the President showed up in a hurry, by making the up-do messier than usual. "
At the beginning: Remembering not to forget 박한결 세월호 3등 and the three Captains of the MV Sewol Ho on 2014.04.15-16.
More reactions from rotten mago please step is such a good story teller
1:38:32 Addendum: the Three Captains need more recognition. The story needs to start on 2014.03.01 - CaptaIn Shin’s relationship with the company, especially a request for maintenance on 2014.04.01. The reason for the turn: Third Officer Park (an educated and experienced Merchant Marine Officer- ask her professor) took multiple bearing on another vessel in the passage and determined that the two vessels were on a collision course and observed that the Sewol was the, “ privileged vessel “ to take early and substantial action to avoid the predicted collision.
(I have to go to work now - 2024.04.24:1409 Mina Sharon’s Texas time, I will start over tomorrow)
Again, If you want to know the root cause, start following the three Captains from 2014.03.01 hour by hour to 2014.01.20. bye
Oh my god , i love Stephanie from years now lol❤
omg a rotten mango video
omg yesss i love stephanie soos youtube and omg you guys are finally reacting to her vids..!!!!!
That is very sad event.
1:03:19 It took that long for the ferry to be brought above water and recovered.
💛💛💛💛 May they rest in peace
Omg new subs here because rotten Mango please do more of her❤❤
2024.04.29 @SewolHoONCE back one more time regarding the, “3 Captains of the Sewol.” UA-cam did not give us the required information, so we went back to Wikipedia. Captain Shin, who knew the condition of the ship, was fired before the 15-16 voyage started. Long-term replacement (not temporary substitute) Captain Lee was relieved of duty at 0916, about half an hour before he disembarked. He was legitimately out of the Captain’s uniform when he disembarked. Coast Guard Headquarters ordered the master of Patrol Ship 123 to take total command of the situation at 0916, but he did not know what to do. Park Han-kyul, Third Office, also lost her officer’s commission at 0916. Her alleged promotion-at-sea never happened; the master of 123 was already legally in command even though he had no idea what he was supposed to be doing! We, therefore, request a long report on Shin, Lee, Park, and nameless 123.
With the former President Park's connections to shamanism, I've seen other people on other videos about this theorize she needed...you know, for her religion😨🤬🤢
I love Stephanie❤ I watch all 3 of her channels.
The MV explanation only covers the very surface details of this horrific tragedy unfortunately and not the full truth and the incredibly cruel events that had happened and I really wish more people would read or watch videos about the full story like this video right here to learn about what had actually happened and how cruel and horrifying it actually was.
More people need to be aware of this incident and far too many people only know about the basics of this tragedy by watching short videos like the Spring Day explanation and that is a shame. This wasn't just a freak accident, it was an incredibly monstrous series of intentional events that had lead to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people that had lost their lives way too soon.
Even if it was some of the strongest windows in the world, you can't tell me they couldn't take some type of saw saw to it. Pressure is different than cutting. You get what I'm saying. Those windows like that are made for pressure, but you put a blade up to something with the jagged edges and start going at 1000 RP m's. It's gonna cut through it if I cut through sheet metal all day with saw saw blades you can't tell me they can't cut through thick a** fiberglass. Or at least try
Who had that shit?
@@MySerpentine who had a saw saw? I mean every block in America has someone with one and that's just a normal one, emergency services have way bigger and better cutting devices... plus even if didn't they could have gotten one in 30 mins..i mean i don't believe one second this "accident" was an accident. They could have gotten torches to cut in the beginning, hell... put inflatables under it... and imean so many inflatables that the people putting it under the boat would be in no type of danger plus sometimes you have to put yourself in danger to save people hell bring 10 helicopters 20 helicopters and hook them to it wherever can to at least slow down.. i don't know if that is rediculous suggestion because idon't know aeronautical engineering, but iwouldn't have cared.. if ihad money and power that boat would have not sunk with that many people on it.. don't care what people might criticize about later saying that was an crazy idea.... fuck em as long as kids were saved
@@DoNkEy_LoVE Seems more like a clusterfuck of buck-passing to me. No reason for the ship to have a saw like that, and if anyone else had one they were too busy with simultaneously doing nothing and being too proud to accept help. It was a case where literally everyone responsible was incompetent.
A report says Captain Park Han-kyul disembarked through a broken window on rhe bridge, but no known video exists.
Can You Watch This "Angry Korean Son “Casually” Kills 6 People After Fight With Mom & Got Away With It"
I got to know about this after bts songs spring day and its feels so heart breaking i crying so much listening it
Me too
Owww Steph 😭💜
