For anyone who doesn’t know! This is about the Seoul ferry tragedy which happened in 2014. A short school trip on a ferry was overloaded with too much weight which the ferry could not hold. Not long into the trip, the ferry started to tilt. Instead of telling the students to get off the captain specifically told the students on the ferry that they need to put life jackets on and stay in their dorms, just so he could evacuate. The captain left the boat soon after, and for some reason someone ordered for rescuers not to go and help (a couple people did go instead of following these instructions) even when the ferry began to sank, even the parents watched this on the news, extremely upset as they didn’t have much hope.. Unfortunately, the cabins fell, the ferry flooded with water and all the students who listened were knocked around. Most of the students who listened to the captain died, although a couple were saved/rescued, but not many. Everyone who didn’t listen (approximately 100 out of the over 300 students) survived. This proves that you shouldn’t always follow others and always go with your heart. I can’t believe these poor souls were lost at such a young age. Rip 🕊️🥺
These kids were true gems. It’s so sad to hear what happened. One couple decided to tie their hands together, so that when they drown, they will be connected and meet in the next life. A terrible tragedy 💔
Quick summary: basically the kid were on a school trip and the Captain evacuated with his crew and told the kids to stay in their rooms, a lot of kids drowned and a couple was found with their hands tied so they could be together forever
@@justcallmecoquette I thought that weren't lovers and they barely knew each other but didnt want to die alone??? I could be wrong and they were idk this happened awhile ago so i might be getting the facts wrong
@@NunyabusinesssaYou need to learn that not everyone who has the same idea is copying. This person probably didn't even see that comment and if they did, what's the big deal. It's not like the world is gonna explode.
This hits so hard. The survivors have a much worse fate. Because it's not only about the ones who are gone, it' also about the ones left behind. May they have the strength to move forward and fight their battles.
Its almost been 10 years since classmates, teachers, principals and beautiful parents had lost these students, most would've been 27-28 years old this year. The sad part is that some families havent found closure, all we can do is try to put their spirits to rest. All because of stupidity, status and entitled people. May we all next year send our wishes for the students, sisters, brothers, children, parents, friends, family that people had lost. May we also aplaud those who risked their lives to save students when they could've escaped. R.I.P and may you fly
Reminder that he didn't just escape first, he specifically ordered the students to stay (so that he could make it out), and pretty much only the kids that disobeyed and jumped out survived (which is why the death toll is so high, they were being good kids)
I can’t imagine kids or anyone being so obedient that they stayed in their rooms while their boat was sinking. I know it is exactly what happened and that breaks my heart. Such a tragedy. Has anyone looked further into the psychology behind them remaining obedient even in the face of death? I would think that would go against their inate survival instincts. Or did they try to leave and it was just too late?
@@JodieCoston-ew3rv the man played the same message over and over again to stay in their seats because he’ll is coming. They called their parents, and their parents told them to stay put because the news also reported that help was on the way. Respect to adults is very very big in the Asian culture. Thye just respected out of trust. I think for the kids who survived their flight or fight mode came on before they could even comprehend what was going on.
@@heartsbonschannel361I want to believe id also have ran out but imagine being in such a big boat and having specific instructions NOT to move out? That would be terryfying. Alone like that, with no idea of what I'll do once I do get out. Unless i had some people willing to come with me, I probably could also have defaulted to just listening to the authority figures and waited for the help i was told was coming
My best friend had just moved to Seoul a few years before and was on this field trip. She couldn’t swim. She was very skinny from high metabolism and none of the life jackets would fit her. It was the middle of the night and she called me. We were in a big fight and I ignored the call. I woke up the next morning to a voice mail from her saying “your my best friend and I love you so much, never forget me. I’m sorry for fighting with you, I wish I got to hear you once more.” I tried calling probably 20 times then I called her mom. She told me while sobbing, I didn’t go to school for probably a week and half, almost two weeks. I wish I answered that phone call, we were just about to graduate. We had a oral report a few weeks later as a final grade. We could partner up or do it solo. I partnered with her boyfriend, we did it on this, I started sobbing. You never know when your going to lose someone, no matter how mad you are at someone, always answer their phone call, you never know if it’ll be the last time you hear their voice.
That's so sad... please, do not blame yourself. I know she has forgiven you from her place in Heaven and you'll see her again someday. Please, love her family and friends a little extra for her... for all the years she wasn't able to. ❤🕊
I can’t even call this man human anymore 😢. He told everyone to stay where they were and when 5he revue team came he told them he was a student or a passenger on the ship and they saved him first and about 300 of 400 kids passengers died that day a tragedy that I wish we could’ve stopped 😢
Its so sad to think that some fully grown adults do this One of the survivors said "It will be hard to trust adults again" May all those students rest is peac🕊😢😭
The crew told the students to stay inside the dorms while they did the complete opposite and went outside. They didn’t just leave the students to die, they KILLED them.
@@igrainelilley4862it is called the Sewol ferry tragedy, it happened in South Korea in 2014. The ferry was full of students (from the same school) and others passengers and was en route from Incheon to the Jeju Island. around 250 students died and at least 50 other passangers
@@igrainelilley4862 This is the Seoul ferry incident. The ferry started to sink and the crew left the students for dead. It is a very tragic story you should look it up. Alot of people have talked about it.
Most of the kids had sadly drowned. I heard that two kids, who had barely known each other, had tied the strings to the lifevest together because they didn’t want to be alone when they died…
@@GreyBladeRoverim pretty sure there were two different sets of people who tied their life vests together, one pair were a couple, the others just didnt want to die alone
@@GreyBladeRover even if it wasn't the life vest one, there was definitely a couple though. Because the couple was a very famous story from the case. They tied hands together, hugged each other tight as they passed and were found by authorities with tied hands together.
Those poor people My aunts friend sacrificed himself to save a child from drowning but unfortunately he got caught we went to see his grave a few weeks ago and me and my aunt saluted him for his noble sacrifice♥️
@@urfavvv_gigi There were some kids on a boat with their school mate and teachers, tragically the ship sunk. They were waiting for the captain to assist the situation but most weren't aware that his selfish ass already evacuated himself before anyone else, and that caused many fatalities because there wasn't proper communication made in time because of the captains wrong doings. There were still survivors but it was too late to save everyone. Anyone feel free to fill in any missing information because I learned about this a long time ago.
@@urfavvv_gigi Oh one more even worse thing! The capitan told everyone to stay still while he was even on the boat! Just makes it even worse because there was ALLOT of time spent of the children just standing around because they were ordered to while the ship was sinking. Those adults sucked, but I heard one saved a child or maybe tried to while on the boat.
@borutokawaki-cv2flhe very much was. He dressed himself up as a civilian, was the first person to evacuate (while telling all the children to stay in their cabins, which btw, was the reason why they weren’t rescued and most died) and had vital information that he didn’t tell anyone. He is a very selfish man.
@borutokawaki-cv2flyes he was! He told the kids to go to their rooms, while he pretended to be a passenger to escape. He was a selfish, pathetic, coward.
@@trudy2612that man told the children on the boat to stay still, even when it was sinking. There was plenty of time for all of them to escape, but he used that time to ensure his own survival, leaving those kids to drown
This hit me very deeply, I remember balling my eyes out as if I lost someone I knew when it happened. Until now my heart sinks when I hear about this tragedy.💔💔
*"and suddenly sitting in the classroom reminded me of the ship, all I saw looking around the classroom were the vivid images of those who sat there and the way they acted and how they smiled and how they laughed and just...(he started crying here and took a 34 second pause) and just how they were alive. When I sit at my seat where (during the interview they bleeped the name out) used to sit I still remember the feeling of the way it sunk. Its scary. I wanted help, my spit tasted like the water I almost died in, Im too scared to cry thinking ill drown in my own tears. When will this pain go away?"* -Sewol Ferry survivor 2016 interview
He didn’t just evacuate. He told them all that everything was going to be okay and to go back to their cabins, just to turn around and evacuate that very minute. Imagine being told that you will be fine to later find yourself drowning or to death. May his spirit and soul always weigh heavy.

The fact that there was a COUPLE who knew they wouldn’t survive, she told her lover an idea of tied a rope with him because she was afraid of stranding away from him. He agreed and they hugged each other tightly before they lost their lives. RIP to the others souls who didn’t made it. 😢 Edit: and someone found the couple with a rope on both their hands together💔 Edit 6: for you guys who’s gonna disagree with me here’s the fricking 🚪 and leave.
@@einyxx there are many comments on the story, but long story short, A man (the man at the start of the video) was a sailor on a ferry having a field trip with some students (shown at the end of the video) and some teachers. Instead of saving the students on the sinking ship, he decided to save himself.
*explanation* “Isn’t this the kind of situation when they tell you, ‘Stay put; it will be O.K.,’ and they run away for their lives?” A teen-age girl is talking with a group of friends, in footage that seems to be cell-phone video. The walls of the ferry they are riding, the M.V. Sewol, are leaning at a distressing angle. But the scene is surprisingly calm. No one is running or shouting-the group is patiently waiting for further instructions from the intercom, which has just told passengers to stay where they are. The girl in the video recalls a subway accident in which passengers were similarly told to stay put. “But only the people who didn’t follow the order survived.” Disasters are marked by moments not only of chaos and terror but of indecision and confusion, as minds race to make choices with incomplete and disorienting information. When one is taking a routine ferry trip, the kind of crossing that occurs dozens of times a day without incident, and that ferry begins to tilt violently and sink into the sea, how do passengers decide what to do? A perfectly rational reaction, on first instinct, is to follow authority and believe that the crew, the captain, and those trusted with operating, commissioning, and regulating the ferry service will know the best course of action. But what happens when leadership breaks down? The above video, “In the Absence,” shows what happened inside the M.V. Sewol, the passenger ferry that sank while travelling between the South Korean city of Incheon and Jeju Island, on April 16, 2014. During one of the first emergency calls from the M.V. Sewol, at 8:52 a.m., an operator asks a passenger for the ship’s location. The passenger tells the operator that he does not, of course, know the exact location. It’s a large, sinking vessel in the middle of an open body of water-difficult to place but hard to miss. Minutes later, an announcement goes out over the intercom: “Please don’t move. Stay put,” a woman’s voice says. “And stand by.” Just after 9:20 a.m., a transportation official urges the captain to make a decision on whether to begin evacuation procedures. Reports would later show that the captain would wait another ten minutes to deliver the command to evacuate. Most survivors did not recall hearing any such command, and the absence of an orderly and structured escape plan multiplied the losses. Nearly an hour after the first emergency calls, the captain jumped a railing, landed on a patrol boat, and abandoned ship. More than a hundred passengers were still sheltering in place onboard. A hundred and seventy-two passengers and crew survived the disaster; three hundred and four died in the sinking, most of them high-school students on a class trip. How many could have been saved if the evacuation had taken place immediately, or if there had been clear procedures and a hierarchy of communication in place? What if the people onboard, instead of obeying misguided orders and waiting for instructions that never came, had decided to fend for themselves? South Korean law enforcement and the families and friends of the victims have grappled with these questions in the aftermath. The captain and fourteen other members of the crew were convicted on charges related to the sinking. Yoo An-sil, the mother of Yu Mi-ji, one of the passengers who died in the sinking, describes a final phone conversation with her daughter with immense regret. “I told her to follow the teacher’s guidance,” she says. “I should have told her to escape quickly. But I didn’t know the situation.”
What makes it even sadder is that many students texted their family and loved one “I love you” and so many kind words before they dr0wn3d. I cried hearing abt that
Further reasoning: apparently the president or someone like that, visited the scene, and the captain tried to look better in their eyes and didn’t do much at all to save the kids. Even though they were told not to by police(?) local volunteers risked their lives just to recover the things and bodies of the teenagers, one of them dying in the process.
For anyone needing background: The students from this tragedy were on a school trip, I believe. The boat was sinking and the captain, shown in the beginning explicitly ordered the students to stay in their rooms while he and his crew left. Most of the students unfortunately drowned and two of the students that were a couple's bodies actually were found holding hands.
@@TeddyBear-cz8ou the couple tied there hands together, so they wouldnt float away after drowning. Basically they would be together forever type of thing, so sad.
I SAW THIS WHEN IT FIRST HAPPEN,❤💯 AND I TELL YOU, IT'S NOT SOMETHING❤💯 YOU WANT TO WATCH OVER. IT WAS❤💯 THE SADDEST REALLY.❤💯 PRAYERS: OF LOVE/STRENGTH❤💯 TO ALL THE FAMILIES❤💯
For those who are looking for an explanation: There was a ferry incident, on board the ferry were mostly kids/teenagers from a school. The ferry started sinking and the captain evacuated himself instead of the hundreds of children on board, some people survived but most died. The sad fact is that there was a couple (teens) who were found dead on the ferry still holding hands, the person that found them there was so heartbroken that they decided to commit. The captain was very selfish.
You know he might've been in shock. If the survival instincts are activated, you wouldn't care about others, your suvival becomes the no1 priority and you basicly consider your safety above all
@@The_fog_manThe ferry was still upright for a good while. Long enough to evacuate damn near everyone, but the captain... and the South Korean authorities were just as worst. The whole incident was a fatal clusterfuck of negligence
Rip all those beautiful souls.. they did not deserve to die.. yet 225 did because of one man’s selfishness.. 😔😔 may their souls rest in peace Edit 1: 1k likes…??! TYSMMMM
Idk I mean, at the end of the day it's survival and when you are in your survival mode it's not easy to just let yourself die for other people itnis instincts go get yourself to safety
@@sophieavondalecreator8646he escaped with the crew,told the kids to stay there and not go to the surface,THE CREW WENT TO THE SURFACE AND GOT PICKED UP BY A HELICOPTER AND HE DIDNT TELL THE KIDS TO GO TO THE SURFACE TO ALSO GET SAVED. That's selfishness, NOT survival instinct.
@@Ma7ithaalhammadi2011 So? They could have had a family. They could have possibly lived so much longer, but that time was taken away by a self centered man. It doesn’t matter if they weren’t old enough to have a family.
We must all be ready to die at any moment. If not, the fear of death can cause cowardly acts like this. Do not fear death. We must all go at some point. RIP to those betrayed angels.
I'm so so sorry for your lost, to hear about this tragedy and knowing one of your loved ones/friends were aboard must be painful. I hope you recover from this. And I'm sorry for the lost of the family members related to her aned all the other students aboard the Seory ferry tragedy. The action the captain took was selfish and twisted. There should have never been a moment to be that selfish. That truly is sick and twisted, I'm glad he's been arrested but that doesn't change the fact kids life's were lost kn on this ferry and the pain you and the family members had to endure. It's wrong to hear parents screaming with agony from the news. And for friends who knew them to sob is sad. May your friend and all the other student rest in peace. All of them were truly beautiful angels and I hope they rest in peace peacefully and your pain and all the other families pain can be healed even if it takes a while. I hope yours and the families of all these beautiful angels can soon find peace and move on. Though it's hard after losing your kids. But I hope that soon, you and them can find peace in mind and the pain within yourself and heart can be healed. Again, may your best friend and the parents of her and the other parents of these angels find peace. May all these beautiful angels rest in peace.
I don't know them all until recently but I saw the video that they made, where they were all happy, smiling, and laughing while telling their families of how they love them. I hope they're alright in the afterlife. Rest in peace.
Guys, please remember that it wasn't just this one man's selfishness that ended the lives of those kids that day. The Korean government and officials also played a hand. They were offered help to assist and evacuate from other governments that had resources in that area and denied it because they wanted to look good for saving the kids themselves. A lot of the crew of that ship also played a hand. They also chose to evacuate to save themselves over telling the kids to evacuate and ensure that people got out safely. These kids were let down by everybody involved. Do not just blame the captain. Do not allow the others to forget that they also let these kids die. Even if only one more member of the crew or one official had cared about saving those kids or others that day, 295 people would not have lost their lives. Instead the 3 crew members that did stay against orders to help passengers were also lost. Park Jiyoung Jeong Hyunseon Kim Kiwoong These 3 crew members gave their lives to try to save the kids but it wasn't enough. Had other crew members second guessed orders or had a moral compass we'd have many more families that would have been able to see their children again.
Ya, you are very right, he for sure played a main role and many did, what he showed them to do (ufff sorry, for my poor English), but everyone makes its own decisions and they all choosed the most selfish way.....
I cry every single time I come across this short the worst part was he didn’t even get a life sentence even tho he killed over 300 kids who had a big future
They even got offered help from Japan and the u.s that were stationed near by if I’m not mistaken I cried so hard and the fact that there’s a song based on the incident shows that people care. I’ve also heard that some of the divers that went in were so freaked out they couldn’t bear to touch human skin again from the videos I watched I was informed that many of the students that had a way to contact the outside told their parents not to let their younger siblings go on a field trip and that they loved them so many life’s lost on that day I’m truly sorry for both the survivors and the ones who didn’t make it..
Look at all those youthful faces. Children. Who had a whole life a head of them. Until this guy cut it short. I hope he lives in a waking nightmare of his act. Rest in peace those beautiful angels
This incident breaks my heart every time I think about it. There were so many steps that could have been taken that would have saved kids' lives. My blood boils thinking about how selfish and greedy those with power were.
For people who don’t understand so the captain of the host which is the man in the first picture the boat was sinking and he told all the kids to stay in there rooms but when they did the captain and his crew got of the boat and I’m pretty sure a couple that was on the boat tied there hands together so they can see each other in the afterlife Your welcome
For those who don’t know: It was a school trip for a class and they were going on a ferry. All of the kids were so excited. They got on the ferry and it was one night it began to sink. The sailor (man at the start of the video) found out and evacuated. Some of the kids asked him if everything was ok. He said yes and most of the kids drowned. Please correct me if I am wrong They will all be missed 🥺
Just asking is there anything else that made it hard for them to survive besides not knowing how to swim. Because if it’s really the only reason. Well done, simple natural selection. Learning to swim seems very obvious in life.
@@Andrei-oc5cs Probably another obvious reason could be that the ship was filling up with water. If all the exits are under the water the pressure would make it extremely hard to open the doors. And even though learning to swim comes really easily to people, it could be hard for them or that they never got the opportunity to learn (Also I’m sorry if this didn’t make a lot of sense)
For ppl who don't know this is called sewol ferry tragedy, it happened in 2014 April 16. Students from danwon highschool were going on a school trip to jeju island in south Korea, the first day the ship was ok but the next morning the students noticed that their breakfast was tilted and was confused then they realised the ship was sinking. One student named doekha choi was the first person to call authorities and stayed on call with them. The captain kept telling the students to stay in their spots and don't move, while the students were still on the ship some were calling and texting their parents saying their last words like 'i love you' and stuff, joking around with their friends, thinking they are going to be rescued, but some students noticed that the life jackets they were wearing were made in the 1900s so they were more worried. The captain managed to escape by disguising as a normal passenger and was one of the few people who escaped. Some students got rescued but some unfortunately pass away, when there were still people in the ship at 10pm (the sinking was at 9am so the ship didn't sink fully yet) the water was very calm but the recuse people were doing NOTHING. They were just on a boat surrounding the ferry but doing nothing. The devastated parents were screaming at the rescue people 'THERE ARE STILL CHILDREN IN THERE' but they did nothing, they kept saying 'the water is too active!' but it was as calm as a lake. Most people got rescued by nearby fishermen on their boats. Some rumors say that there was a couple but friends of the 'couple' said that they never spoke to eachother, the two people were in a room together while the ship was sinking and in their last moments they tied their life jacket cords together. Over 300 people died and 250+ of them were students. (I got carried away and made it really long) You can also hear more about the tragedy from rotten mangos video about the sewol ferry tragedy
Thanks for sharing about what happened. I had no idea this happened back then. It's horrible. Why refusing help from other countries to save your own citizens? It could have been the fear the truth could have been uncovered and so the true murderer, the plot, would have been discovered? I'm sure everyone on board would have accepted help regardless if given by Koreans or not. This looks like a political revenge with one kid targeted for being the son or daughter of a politician or someone who was a threat for an election or witnessed a crime, or anything else causing a threat, in my opinion. Who knows. It's obvious the rescue team let them drown as they were given STRICT ORDERS to not try and rescue anyone. So someone of power was behind this whole thing. The whole situation was manipulated to succeed no matter how many people would be killed. This sounds like it was planned, the captain of the ferry could have been informed about this, it feels like he knew something prior to the accident or heard something when calling to get help... How to prove that anyway? It was made to look like an accident. I'm sorry to say all this, I've got carried away as well. I hope justice was made. This was PURE CRUELTY, EVILNESS, INJUSTICE. Also, imagine that it's your job to rescue people but you're threatened to not rescue a soul, you can only watch and hear the cries amd screams from people dying. Traumatic. The captain as well, he was blamed but what if he was also under orders with threats agaisnt his family? I've never heard of a captain being selfish before, especially with the lives of children. It doesn't add up. It's all. Everyone's that was there and survived or could only watch are definitely traumatized for the rest of their life. It ruined so many people's lives, I bet. There is true evil in this world. and we give it power. This is horrifying.
That man is horrible and "sorry" will never bring back what he was suppose to do, take care of the kids. Instead he was selfish, greedy, and did this act disgustingand inhumane beyond words. May those who died rest in peace and live a great and happy life in the afterlife and those who survived heal from their trauma caused by this monster. REST IN PEACE THOSE WHO DIED.❤❤🕊🕊
The Sewol ferry tragedy: The students and teachers were going on a field trip to Jeju Island traveling by a ship. The second day on the ship, students noticed that the ship was tilted. It was tilting because how much cargo they put on the ship. The captain told everyone to go to their cabins with their life vest. Almost everyone followed the captain’s directions and the rest didn’t. Meanwhile the captain evacuated first and the few other students and teachers did, but the students were trapped inside the ferry. Rescuers came and saved more people. The boat was about to tip over with more students and teachers inside the ferry. As soon as the ship completely turned upside down, they sent divers to save more. But it was too late when everyone else sadly passed away. The people who listened to the captain died and the people who didn’t survived. Rest In Peace students and teachers who passed away in this tragedy.
For those of you who don't understand: in april 16th? 2014, a school was so excited to go on their field trip to jeju island, so they got on the ferry the ferry was called sewul ferrry. At day 1 they were all chill, but at day too when they were eating breakfast. The noticed that the boat started tilting a little bit, they didn't mind but they noticed it started tilting more, the captain told them to stay in their bunkers and to not panic. The captain got off the ferry safely while the kids where drowning. Some even gave their life jackers to safe the little ones, the weight limit was 300 and 340+ kids died. The captain ended up arrested for that.
The fact that he changed his clothes before being evacuated so that nobody could tell that he was the captain made it just that much more diabolical. Premeditated murder for sure.
This few seconds of short clip can bring tears in my eyes😭. I prayed that that all the other students who survived are healing and may the students who passed away rest in peace😔
The fact that the fishermen or just little boats helped save more lives and the usa was in good conditions with seoul and they offerd a bunch of help but seoul rejected evrything is just heart breacking 💔
@@hollieliddiard1849Firstly, not everyone speaks English as a first language. How many languages do YOU speak? Secondly, you correct THEIR spelling when your reply has offensively horendous grammar and a misspelling of "yeah"? 🤣🤣
There’s amoral value that my mom once told me about this tragedy:Sometimes being disobedient isn’t a bad thing to do,because think!if you stayed there longer you will eventually drown and die?so why just stay they’re to die when you can disobey the teachers words???
I always end up sobbing whenever I see the sewol ferry tragedy being mention. It breaks my heart seeing how the kids knew they were going to die, the person slamming the window with a chair that didn't break, the kids that tied their life jackets together, the teachers that stayed with the students, family, friends, the ones that made it out alive and still suffer. And the fact that they could have been saved, every single passenger, every single kid that ended up texting and calling to make their last goodbye. I hope for the suffering of all the ones responsible, I hope this haunts them for the rest of their lives.
i hope the captain and thr government suffer from what they did, the captain did the exwct OPPOSITE of what he said to do. glad he was exucuted. but the government? our society? it was bad enough, and they HAD to make it worse omg.
Context: The kids are from a school and are going on a field trip to an island. When boarding the crew members knew that they had more than the amount the ship can carry but the captain decided they could carry more than the amount. When they departed the cargo was not properly secured and made the ship have poor stability due to cargo movement. The ship started tilting until it was laying on its side. The captain ordered the crew to tell the kids to stay down in their rooms until it was safe. Unfortunately the captain then acted like a normal passenger so that he would be safe and left the kids to drown inside the room. Two students who were boyfriend and girlfriend tied their hands together so that they would stay together and not float away from each other. Sadly 250 students died that day and only 75 survived. This would have been prevented if the captain didn’t carry twice the amount the ship was able to carry and if the crew members secured the cargo correctly
I can’t imagine how terrifying that must have been for her. I watched a documentary about this and had a dream about it and woke up scared; i nearly cried just from dreaming how scary would it have been for them
For the ones who dont know: So there was a high school class they’re were going on a field trip to an island on the 2nd day they cars inisde the boat hit the walls causing it to leak and break the captain and crew escape the captain said for the kids to stay inside it was extremely hot so they took off their clothes a girl looked at the window one of the rescuers looked at them. Also the captain killed 350 kids
For those who don't understand: April 16, 2014 Danwon high school was taking all of the students to a boat at 8:30 am and everything was fine until the ship started sinking but the man who was shown in the first picture of the video was the captain he left and escaped and didn't tell anyone there were 476 people, 11 teachers and 225 students and some staff and 306 people died and all of the students were calling their loved ones and saying I love you or bye to them and there was a couple who knew they wouldn't make it and didn't want to be separated so they tied a rope on their hands and when they died they stayed together and the man was sentenced to life in prison. (Hope this helped) (Yall I didn't research on this I don't know alot of details but ik the main parts)
Death is too good for him he should have just rotted in prison until he was an old man and died that's much worse than dying it's like dying while being alive
*and the students that were in the sinking ship sat there calmly, laughing and casually talking to their friends because they believed that someone just anyone* would *come to save them from the sinking ship and they believed in the adults. they entrusted their lives to someone who evacuated and left them for death.. to the Sweol Ferry tragidy, please rest in peace. you left us too soon ❤❤*
Yep and it's so much more chilling that they prayed, said their goodbyes on a phone/camera recording about what happened. They laughed,talked then come to the realization they accepted their fate.
okay so basically, Theses kids (high school) went on a school trip. There was to Manny cars on the ship so it went down. Most of the crew (not all) left the kids in the ship and went out to leave and escape. When questioned, the captain claimed no one was in the ship when kids were in there. They left this announcement on and it said to stay in. All of the parents last texts to the kids pretty much said the same thing - Listen to what they say. American ships offered to help bc they have all the tools but Korea said no. The people who had to save them apparently did not do ANYTHING and the parents had to save the kids. The people there said no but divers offered to help. Some kids escaped, but others lost their lives. An 21 year old on the crew saved some people and so did the gym teacher. The vice principal took his life since the trip was his idea and all parents were blaming him. Korea tried to make the parents forget about it by giving money but all the parents wanted was their kids. A channel called "Rotten Mango" explains it better then I could ever
For people who don’t know what happened :there was a high school in Seoul,and what happened was something hit the ship then the ship started tilting,everyone was panicking being locked in a room for hours all of the people texted there parents saying things like :”I love you so much mum and dad goodbye”it was heartbreaking then the caption said to the students stay here you’ll be fine then he exited safely but not the students.Heartbreaking,thousands of students were killed and then he got arrested for saving himself not the poor students.He deserved to stay in prison forever.R.I.P all the innocent children on the ship.
This made me cry for a while… Even though it’s so sad it actually happened 7 years ago- I’d say the saddest thing about the students was when they called their parents and said “mom,dad, I love you the most”and they just acted happy and smiled while crying…
I watched all of the documentaries and I still can't watch them without getting full on body chills. What happend to these children is so intensely brutal, there truly is no right word for it. Hearing the cries of the parents wanting to risk their own lives, trying to save their own ( and other ) children. The anger, the pain and everything recorded is just so heartbreaking to watch. None of these souls deserved to go so soon. Multiple teachers stayed behind with the children and passed on, fighting for those kids. I have immense respect for all people involved who tried their best and gave their lives for them. May all the victims rest softly.
Amen the man was so selfish if i was there i would go and save as much lives as i can(even thought i am just a Kid know but i would still try) i'm sure the teachers also tried to save the students but they just could not
@@swatiisingh123basically there was a field trip with a lot of students teachers and some other civilians on a ship something happened and instead of evacuating them the captain left a recording on that said “don’t move stay in place” and evacuated himself. This ended in tragedy as almost everyone that day died (not everyone but almost). There was actually a case of two students who didn’t know each other tying their life vest together so they don’t die alone. There is another couple who tied a rope to each other because the girlfriend was scared when she died they would drift away from each other they died hugging each other tightly. Students made phone calls to their parents and let other students use their phones so there are some pretty horrible vice recording and voice mails.
@@ellenixie9024 if you search "sewol ferry tragedy" you'll find it. I'd suggest watching Rotten Mango / MissMangoButt, she has a very good video about it.
For those who idk the students were to go on the ship few days later they were eating they felt smth wrong they looked outside the boat was tilting but they ignored it the captain said just go to theyre rooms the captain evacuated while the kids were in theyre room.
For those who don't know So basically what happend was they were on a school trip on a boat and the boat started sinking but only the driver knew so he told the students to stay put and the driver evacuated instead of the students so more then 500+ students died on that school trip😞
This comment is particularly heartbreaking to me. I'm not even crying at it, I'm just sitting here in shock, realizing that you're right, and that no matter how many tears I shed, it won't turn back time
@@ShawieshawszI get what you're saying that you have to pass on,but it's really heartbreaking that they died so young.But we have to learn to accept it R.I.P all the people who died
Why would you want them back. Someone who doesn’t know how to swim is just asking to die… they weren’t little kids, almost adults. It’s sad but natural selection it is.
Context:The ferry MV Sewol sank on the morning of April 16, 2014, en route from Incheon towards Jeju in South Korea.The 6,825-ton vessel sent a distress signal from about 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi; 1.5 nmi) north of Byeongpungdo at 08:58 KST (23:58 UTC, April 15, 2014).Out of 476 passengers and crew, 304 died in the disaster, including around 250 students from Danwon High School in Ansan City.Of the 172 survivors, more than half were rescued by fishing boats and other commercial vessels that arrived at the scene approximately 40 minutes before the Korea Coast Guard (KCG).
whats even worse is one said "isnt this the type of situation when director leaves" she was right, and one student said "its always the people dont listen to instructions that end up surviving in accidents", then 2 people that didnt know each other well tied their life jacket strings so they dont die alone. Rest in peace you are still missed.
Explanation- in 2014 students went on a cruise ship and it was over full that it sank more than 200 passengers died and only 172 passengers survived He went first out of the cruise ship leaving kids waiting for him that some drowned as he took so long hope this helped Yes i liked my own comment
The worst part is a girl said “Isn’t this the type of situation where they say stay put and they run away?”

For anyone who doesn’t know!
This is about the Seoul ferry tragedy which happened in 2014.
A short school trip on a ferry was overloaded with too much weight which the ferry could not hold. Not long into the trip, the ferry started to tilt. Instead of telling the students to get off the captain specifically told the students on the ferry that they need to put life jackets on and stay in their dorms, just so he could evacuate. The captain left the boat soon after, and for some reason someone ordered for rescuers not to go and help (a couple people did go instead of following these instructions) even when the ferry began to sank, even the parents watched this on the news, extremely upset as they didn’t have much hope.. Unfortunately, the cabins fell, the ferry flooded with water and all the students who listened were knocked around. Most of the students who listened to the captain died, although a couple were saved/rescued, but not many. Everyone who didn’t listen (approximately 100 out of the over 300 students) survived. This proves that you shouldn’t always follow others and always go with your heart. I can’t believe these poor souls were lost at such a young age. Rip 🕊️🥺
It was the teacher! Not the captain!
@@ChunkychunHealystop getting sooo mad ok he/she made a mistake that’s yall it’s nit a big deal

And other people offerd to help. they should have taken it. Instead of doing nothing

They straight up lied instead of telling them. “You’ll be okay” is basically what they said as they left the kids to drown.
He didn’t even try to help. He just left them there to die.
Reminder that he didn't just escape first, he specifically ordered the students to stay (so that he could make it out), and pretty much only the kids that disobeyed and jumped out survived (which is why the death toll is so high, they were being good kids)
I can’t imagine kids or anyone being so obedient that they stayed in their rooms while their boat was sinking. I know it is exactly what happened and that breaks my heart. Such a tragedy.
Has anyone looked further into the psychology behind them remaining obedient even in the face of death? I would think that would go against their inate survival instincts. Or did they try to leave and it was just too late?
@@JodieCoston-ew3rv the man played the same message over and over again to stay in their seats because he’ll is coming. They called their parents, and their parents told them to stay put because the news also reported that help was on the way. Respect to adults is very very big in the Asian culture.

My best friend had just moved to Seoul a few years before and was on this field trip. She couldn’t swim. She was very skinny from high metabolism and none of the life jackets would fit her. It was the middle of the night and she called me. We were in a big fight and I ignored the call. I woke up the next morning to a voice mail from her saying “your my best friend and I love you so much, never forget me. I’m sorry for fighting with you, I wish I got to hear you once more.” I tried calling probably 20 times then I called her mom. She told me while sobbing, I didn’t go to school for probably a week and half, almost two weeks. I wish I answered that phone call, we were just about to graduate. We had a oral report a few weeks later as a final grade. We could partner up or do it solo. I partnered with her boyfriend, we did it on this, I started sobbing. You never know when your going to lose someone, no matter how mad you are at someone, always answer their phone call, you never know if it’ll be the last time you hear their voice.

@@urfavvv_gigi There were some kids on a boat with their school mate and teachers, tragically the ship sunk. They were waiting for the captain to assist the situation but most weren't aware that his selfish ass already evacuated himself before anyone else, and that caused many fatalities because there wasn't proper communication made in time because of the captains wrong doings. There were still survivors but it was too late to save everyone. Anyone feel free to fill in any missing information because I learned about this a long time ago.
@@urfavvv_gigi Oh one more even worse thing! The capitan told everyone to stay still while he was even on the boat!

@@adventures.withmel yeah I've seen some of the comments but wanted to know more of what had happened.
And thank you for the summary
*explanation*
“Isn’t this the kind of situation when they tell you, ‘Stay put; it will be O.K.,’ and they run away for their lives?” A teen-age girl is talking with a group of friends, in footage that seems to be cell-phone video. The walls of the ferry they are riding, the M.V. Sewol, are leaning at a distressing angle. But the scene is surprisingly calm. No one is running or shouting-the group is patiently waiting for further instructions from the intercom, which has just told passengers to stay where they are. The girl in the video recalls a subway accident in which passengers were similarly told to stay put. “But only the people who didn’t follow the order survived.”
Disasters are marked by moments not only of chaos and terror but of indecision and confusion, as minds race to make choices with incomplete and disorienting information. When one is taking a routine ferry trip, the kind of crossing that occurs dozens of times a day without incident, and that ferry begins to tilt violently and sink into the sea, how do passengers decide what to do? A perfectly rational reaction, on first instinct, is to follow authority and believe that the crew, the captain, and those trusted with operating, commissioning, and regulating the ferry service will know the best course of action. But what happens when leadership breaks down? The above video, “In the Absence,” shows what happened inside the M.V. Sewol, the passenger ferry that sank while travelling between the South Korean city of Incheon and Jeju Island, on April 16, 2014.
During one of the first emergency calls from the M.V. Sewol, at 8:52 a.m., an operator asks a passenger for the ship’s location. The passenger tells the operator that he does not, of course, know the exact location. It’s a large, sinking vessel in the middle of an open body of water-difficult to place but hard to miss. Minutes later, an announcement goes out over the intercom: “Please don’t move. Stay put,” a woman’s voice says. “And stand by.”
Just after 9:20 a.m., a transportation official urges the captain to make a decision on whether to begin evacuation procedures. Reports would later show that the captain would wait another ten minutes to deliver the command to evacuate. Most survivors did not recall hearing any such command, and the absence of an orderly and structured escape plan multiplied the losses.
Nearly an hour after the first emergency calls, the captain jumped a railing, landed on a patrol boat, and abandoned ship. More than a hundred passengers were still sheltering in place onboard. A hundred and seventy-two passengers and crew survived the disaster; three hundred and four died in the sinking, most of them high-school students on a class trip.
How many could have been saved if the evacuation had taken place immediately, or if there had been clear procedures and a hierarchy of communication in place? What if the people onboard, instead of obeying misguided orders and waiting for instructions that never came, had decided to fend for themselves? South Korean law enforcement and the families and friends of the victims have grappled with these questions in the aftermath.
The captain and fourteen other members of the crew were convicted on charges related to the sinking. Yoo An-sil, the mother of Yu Mi-ji, one of the passengers who died in the sinking, describes a final phone conversation with her daughter with immense regret. “I told her to follow the teacher’s guidance,” she says. “I should have told her to escape quickly. But I didn’t know the situation.”

Further reasoning: apparently the president or someone like that, visited the scene, and the captain tried to look better in their eyes and didn’t do much at all to save the kids. Even though they were told not to by police(?) local volunteers risked their lives just to recover the things and bodies of the teenagers, one of them dying in the process.

For those who are looking for an explanation:
There was a ferry incident, on board the ferry were mostly kids/teenagers from a school. The ferry started sinking and the captain evacuated himself instead of the hundreds of children on board, some people survived but most died. The sad fact is that there was a couple (teens) who were found dead on the ferry still holding hands, the person that found them there was so heartbroken that they decided to commit. The captain was very selfish.

We must all be ready to die at any moment. If not, the fear of death can cause cowardly acts like this. Do not fear death. We must all go at some point. RIP to those betrayed angels.
I'm so so sorry for your lost, to hear about this tragedy and knowing one of your loved ones/friends were aboard must be painful. I hope you recover from this. And I'm sorry for the lost of the family members related to her aned all the other students aboard the Seory ferry tragedy. The action the captain took was selfish and twisted. There should have never been a moment to be that selfish. That truly is sick and twisted, I'm glad he's been arrested but that doesn't change the fact kids life's were lost kn on this ferry and the pain you and the family members had to endure. It's wrong to hear parents screaming with agony from the news. And for friends who knew them to sob is sad. May your friend and all the other student rest in peace. All of them were truly beautiful angels and I hope they rest in peace peacefully and your pain and all the other families pain can be healed even if it takes a while. I hope yours and the families of all these beautiful angels can soon find peace and move on. Though it's hard after losing your kids. But I hope that soon, you and them can find peace in mind and the pain within yourself and heart can be healed. Again, may your best friend and the parents of her and the other parents of these angels find peace. May all these beautiful angels rest in peace.
I don't know them all until recently but I saw the video that they made, where they were all happy, smiling, and laughing while telling their families of how they love them. I hope they're alright in the afterlife. Rest in peace.

What happened
Guys, please remember that it wasn't just this one man's selfishness that ended the lives of those kids that day.
The Korean government and officials also played a hand. They were offered help to assist and evacuate from other governments that had resources in that area and denied it because they wanted to look good for saving the kids themselves.
A lot of the crew of that ship also played a hand. They also chose to evacuate to save themselves over telling the kids to evacuate and ensure that people got out safely.
These kids were let down by everybody involved. Do not just blame the captain. Do not allow the others to forget that they also let these kids die.
Even if only one more member of the crew or one official had cared about saving those kids or others that day, 295 people would not have lost their lives.
Instead the 3 crew members that did stay against orders to help passengers were also lost.
Park Jiyoung
Jeong Hyunseon
Kim Kiwoong
These 3 crew members gave their lives to try to save the kids but it wasn't enough. Had other crew members second guessed orders or had a moral compass we'd have many more families that would have been able to see their children again.
He is the one that told them to stay put whilst he escaped

So everyone else who caused there deaths should be let off?
Ya, you are very right, he for sure played a main role and many did, what he showed them to do (ufff sorry, for my poor English), but everyone makes its own decisions and they all choosed the most selfish way.....
"Do not blame just the captain" he hopped on the saving boat first even if the captain has to leave the last
I cry every single time I come across this short the worst part was he didn’t even get a life sentence even tho he killed over 300 kids who had a big future
"It's always the people that don't listen to the instructions that end up surviving accidents"
They even got offered help from Japan and the u.s that were stationed near by if I’m not mistaken I cried so hard and the fact that there’s a song based on the incident shows that people care. I’ve also heard that some of the divers that went in were so freaked out they couldn’t bear to touch human skin again from the videos I watched I was informed that many of the students that had a way to contact the outside told their parents not to let their younger siblings go on a field trip and that they loved them so many life’s lost on that day I’m truly sorry for both the survivors and the ones who didn’t make it..

This incident breaks my heart every time I think about it. There were so many steps that could have been taken that would have saved kids' lives. My blood boils thinking about how selfish and greedy those with power were.
I got told that the oldest students gave their live jackets to the younger ones I hope they rest in peace in heaven may god bleed them❤️
For people who don’t understand so the captain of the host which is the man in the first picture the boat was sinking and he told all the kids to stay in there rooms but when they did the captain and his crew got of the boat and I’m pretty sure a couple that was on the boat tied there hands together so they can see each other in the afterlife
Your welcome
I feel so bad for the parents, all the things they had to go through.😢😭
For those who don’t know: It was a school trip for a class and they were going on a ferry. All of the kids were so excited. They got on the ferry and it was one night it began to sink. The sailor (man at the start of the video) found out and evacuated. Some of the kids asked him if everything was ok. He said yes and most of the kids drowned.
Please correct me if I am wrong
They will all be missed 🥺
Yeah, he said everyone will be ok and just return to there cabins while the ship just sank.
16 April 2014
Just asking is there anything else that made it hard for them to survive besides not knowing how to swim. Because if it’s really the only reason. Well done, simple natural selection. Learning to swim seems very obvious in life.
@@Andrei-oc5cs Probably another obvious reason could be that the ship was filling up with water. If all the exits are under the water the pressure would make it extremely hard to open the doors. And even though learning to swim comes really easily to people, it could be hard for them or that they never got the opportunity to learn
(Also I’m sorry if this didn’t make a lot of sense)
😢😢😢
For ppl who don't know this is called sewol ferry tragedy, it happened in 2014 April 16.
Students from danwon highschool were going on a school trip to jeju island in south Korea, the first day the ship was ok but the next morning the students noticed that their breakfast was tilted and was confused then they realised the ship was sinking. One student named doekha choi was the first person to call authorities and stayed on call with them.
The captain kept telling the students to stay in their spots and don't move, while the students were still on the ship some were calling and texting their parents saying their last words like 'i love you' and stuff, joking around with their friends, thinking they are going to be rescued, but some students noticed that the life jackets they were wearing were made in the 1900s so they were more worried. The captain managed to escape by disguising as a normal passenger and was one of the few people who escaped.
Some students got rescued but some unfortunately pass away, when there were still people in the ship at 10pm (the sinking was at 9am so the ship didn't sink fully yet) the water was very calm but the recuse people were doing NOTHING. They were just on a boat surrounding the ferry but doing nothing. The devastated parents were screaming at the rescue people 'THERE ARE STILL CHILDREN IN THERE' but they did nothing, they kept saying 'the water is too active!' but it was as calm as a lake. Most people got rescued by nearby fishermen on their boats. Some rumors say that there was a couple but friends of the 'couple' said that they never spoke to eachother, the two people were in a room together while the ship was sinking and in their last moments they tied their life jacket cords together. Over 300 people died and 250+ of them were students.
(I got carried away and made it really long)
You can also hear more about the tragedy from rotten mangos video about the sewol ferry tragedy
Thanks for sharing about what happened. I had no idea this happened back then. It's horrible. Why refusing help from other countries to save your own citizens? It could have been the fear the truth could have been uncovered and so the true murderer, the plot, would have been discovered? I'm sure everyone on board would have accepted help regardless if given by Koreans or not. This looks like a political revenge with one kid targeted for being the son or daughter of a politician or someone who was a threat for an election or witnessed a crime, or anything else causing a threat, in my opinion. Who knows. It's obvious the rescue team let them drown as they were given STRICT ORDERS to not try and rescue anyone. So someone of power was behind this whole thing. The whole situation was manipulated to succeed no matter how many people would be killed. This sounds like it was planned, the captain of the ferry could have been informed about this, it feels like he knew something prior to the accident or heard something when calling to get help... How to prove that anyway? It was made to look like an accident. I'm sorry to say all this, I've got carried away as well. I hope justice was made. This was PURE CRUELTY, EVILNESS, INJUSTICE.
Also, imagine that it's your job to rescue people but you're threatened to not rescue a soul, you can only watch and hear the cries amd screams from people dying. Traumatic. The captain as well, he was blamed but what if he was also under orders with threats agaisnt his family? I've never heard of a captain being selfish before, especially with the lives of children. It doesn't add up. It's all. Everyone's that was there and survived or could only watch are definitely traumatized for the rest of their life. It ruined so many people's lives, I bet.
There is true evil in this world. and we give it power. This is horrifying.
Thank you, finally someone giving credible information, an context with date to look up documentary.
you explained it perfectly, thank you. The captain was a coward, I can't imagine what those kids went through in their last moments
Why wouldn't they help wth!?
Thank you for clarifying. It’s annoying that everyone is calling it the Seoul ferry tragedy
That man is horrible and "sorry" will never bring back what he was suppose to do, take care of the kids. Instead he was selfish, greedy, and did this act disgustingand inhumane beyond words. May those who died rest in peace and live a great and happy life in the afterlife and those who survived heal from their trauma caused by this monster. REST IN PEACE THOSE WHO DIED.❤❤🕊🕊
The Sewol ferry tragedy:
The students and teachers were going on a field trip to Jeju Island traveling by a ship. The second day on the ship, students noticed that the ship was tilted. It was tilting because how much cargo they put on the ship. The captain told everyone to go to their cabins with their life vest. Almost everyone followed the captain’s directions and the rest didn’t. Meanwhile the captain evacuated first and the few other students and teachers did, but the students were trapped inside the ferry. Rescuers came and saved more people. The boat was about to tip over with more students and teachers inside the ferry. As soon as the ship completely turned upside down, they sent divers to save more. But it was too late when everyone else sadly passed away. The people who listened to the captain died and the people who didn’t survived. Rest In Peace students and teachers who passed away in this tragedy.
It was worse. He told them to return to their cabins because everything was going to be fine.
What monster would fucking do this to innocent children?
What did he have in mind ? He should have been the one not the kids 😢

For those of you who don't understand: in april 16th? 2014, a school was so excited to go on their field trip to jeju island, so they got on the ferry the ferry was called sewul ferrry. At day 1 they were all chill, but at day too when they were eating breakfast. The noticed that the boat started tilting a little bit, they didn't mind but they noticed it started tilting more, the captain told them to stay in their bunkers and to not panic. The captain got off the ferry safely while the kids where drowning. Some even gave their life jackers to safe the little ones, the weight limit was 300 and 340+ kids died. The captain ended up arrested for that.
The fact that he changed his clothes before being evacuated so that nobody could tell that he was the captain made it just that much more diabolical. Premeditated murder for sure.
This few seconds of short clip can bring tears in my eyes😭. I prayed that that all the other students who survived are healing and may the students who passed away rest in peace😔

and the reason I’m never going on school boat and plane field trips🩷
I always end up sobbing whenever I see the sewol ferry tragedy being mention. It breaks my heart seeing how the kids knew they were going to die, the person slamming the window with a chair that didn't break, the kids that tied their life jackets together, the teachers that stayed with the students, family, friends, the ones that made it out alive and still suffer. And the fact that they could have been saved, every single passenger, every single kid that ended up texting and calling to make their last goodbye. I hope for the suffering of all the ones responsible, I hope this haunts them for the rest of their lives.
How awful. I hope the same as you. Nobody should stand by and watch a child die never mind hundreds of them. They essentially killed them 😣
And past they need to rot in hell worse than that is what they deserve but it's not possible to get any worse

i hope the captain and thr government suffer from what they did, the captain did the exwct OPPOSITE of what he said to do. glad he was exucuted. but the government? our society? it was bad enough, and they HAD to make it worse omg.
Context: The kids are from a school and are going on a field trip to an island. When boarding the crew members knew that they had more than the amount the ship can carry but the captain decided they could carry more than the amount. When they departed the cargo was not properly secured and made the ship have poor stability due to cargo movement. The ship started tilting until it was laying on its side. The captain ordered the crew to tell the kids to stay down in their rooms until it was safe. Unfortunately the captain then acted like a normal passenger so that he would be safe and left the kids to drown inside the room. Two students who were boyfriend and girlfriend tied their hands together so that they would stay together and not float away from each other. Sadly 250 students died that day and only 75 survived. This would have been prevented if the captain didn’t carry twice the amount the ship was able to carry and if the crew members secured the cargo correctly
Their faces...
you can see the horror and sadness in their eyes just by one man who took selfishness over saving kids lives

Also the captain killed 350 kids
For those who don't understand:
April 16, 2014 Danwon high school was taking all of the students to a boat at 8:30 am and everything was fine until the ship started sinking but the man who was shown in the first picture of the video was the captain he left and escaped and didn't tell anyone there were 476 people, 11 teachers and 225 students and some staff and 306 people died and all of the students were calling their loved ones and saying I love you or bye to them and there was a couple who knew they wouldn't make it and didn't want to be separated so they tied a rope on their hands and when they died they stayed together and the man was sentenced to life in prison.

Low-key kinda they're fault for just staying inside the ship. (I don't know full story)
okay so basically,
Theses kids (high school) went on a school trip. There was to Manny cars on the ship so it went down. Most of the crew (not all) left the kids in the ship and went out to leave and escape. When questioned, the captain claimed no one was in the ship when kids were in there. They left this announcement on and it said to stay in. All of the parents last texts to the kids pretty much said the same thing - Listen to what they say. American ships offered to help bc they have all the tools but Korea said no. The people who had to save them apparently did not do ANYTHING and the parents had to save the kids. The people there said no but divers offered to help. Some kids escaped, but others lost their lives. An 21 year old on the crew saved some people and so did the gym teacher. The vice principal took his life since the trip was his idea and all parents were blaming him. Korea tried to make the parents forget about it by giving money but all the parents wanted was their kids.
A channel called "Rotten Mango" explains it better then I could ever

Hearing the cries of the parents wanting to risk their own lives, trying to save their own ( and other ) children. The anger, the pain and everything recorded is just so heartbreaking to watch. None of these souls deserved to go so soon.
Multiple teachers stayed behind with the children and passed on, fighting for those kids. I have immense respect for all people involved who tried their best and gave their lives for them. May all the victims rest softly.

@@swatiisingh123basically there was a field trip with a lot of students teachers and some other civilians on a ship something happened and instead of evacuating them the captain left a recording on that said “don’t move stay in place” and evacuated himself. This ended in tragedy as almost everyone that day died (not everyone but almost). There was actually a case of two students who didn’t know each other tying their life vest together so they don’t die alone. There is another couple who tied a rope to each other because the girlfriend was scared when she died they would drift away from each other they died hugging each other tightly. Students made phone calls to their parents and let other students use their phones so there are some pretty horrible vice recording and voice mails.

Context:The ferry MV Sewol sank on the morning of April 16, 2014, en route from Incheon towards Jeju in South Korea.The 6,825-ton vessel sent a distress signal from about 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi; 1.5 nmi) north of Byeongpungdo at 08:58 KST (23:58 UTC, April 15, 2014).Out of 476 passengers and crew, 304 died in the disaster, including around 250 students from Danwon High School in Ansan City.Of the 172 survivors, more than half were rescued by fishing boats and other commercial vessels that arrived at the scene approximately 40 minutes before the Korea Coast Guard (KCG).
whats even worse is one said "isnt this the type of situation when director leaves" she was right, and one student said "its always the people dont listen to instructions that end up surviving in accidents", then 2 people that didnt know each other well tied their life jacket strings so they dont die alone. Rest in peace you are still missed.
Explanation-
in 2014 students went on a cruise ship and it was over full that it sank more than 200 passengers died and only 172 passengers survived
He went first out of the cruise ship leaving kids waiting for him that some drowned as he took so long
hope this helped
