- Text messages from passengers who were on the sinking ferry have surfaced.
A son-- thinking he might not make it-- telling his mother, that he loves her...
and another student telling his father that he cannot escape because the ship has tilted too much.
There are other rescue stories coming to light, including the rescue of a 6-year-old child.
Connie Lee has more. Text messages,... apparently from passengers,.... paint a harrowing picture of what it was like... in the moments directly after the ferry started sinking.
One trapped passenger texted his father... telling him about his current situation.
To this, the father responded... "I know help is on the way, but if possible, get outside."
To this the son texts back...
"No, Dad, I can't, the ferry is too tilted. There are no kids out in the hallways."
Another passenger... this time a son texted his mother...
"Mom, just in case I don't have another chance to say it, I love you."
The mother replied... but clearly unaware of his situation. [show text]
An exchange between two brothers... describes what had happened.
The passenger texted that the ferry hit something and stopped moving...
but reassured his older brother that a rescue team had arrived.
The older brother replied,... telling him not to panic, to stay alert... and follow directions...
but he heard nothing more.
Meanwhile... the stories of survivors show their desperate attempts to live... with some passengers breaking through windows and jumping into the waters to be rescued.
"I just jumped into the water and started swimming. It was really cold... so I tried to swim as fast as I could..."
Stories of heroism are also surfacing...
including one, where 58-year-old ... saved 20 passengers by himself... as the ferry was sinking.
Kim reportedly tied a fire hose to curtains... and pulled nearly two dozen students from the first floor of the ship to the outside... so that rescue helicopters could reach them.
And another story of heroism... is the rescue of a 6-year-old child.
The young girl... named ... was rescued by four passengers... as you can see in this video... in the final moments.
During the disaster, she was apparently split up from her parents and brother--- who are, unfortunately, still among the hundreds... who are still missing.

The words "stay still" caused so many deaths.
I know right?
@@touyatodoroki5488 Because that's what they were told to do. They trusted the crew in charge, which ultimately cost the lives of so many.
@@touyatodoroki5488 in Asia, younger generation r supposed to respect the older generation/elders. They aren't allowed to leave because they will be considered 'rude even if it was a life or death situation. That's the Asian culture for u.
@@touyatodoroki5488 that's the Asian culture for u. If we don't follow those rules, we will get scolded because they apparently care more about manners than anything. N also when in a ship or plane, we r always told to follow what the captain says n its mot just the Asian culture so... n plus the kids were trusting the captain n crew a lot so some were still joking until they realised their captain was that selfish to let them die.
“Wait” they said “Stay still” they said. For who? They robbed so many smiles and the future of those priceless students. They have snatched away all the happiness and hope the dead’s family had. May to rot in hell
do yall know that the titanic captain rescued many people and sacrificed his life for them..
but this man was the first to leave the ferry.
it's so disgusting
disgusting shit
Also Titanic sank on April 15 1912 and Sewol Ferry sank on April 16 2014. Exactly 102 years and 1 day after.
True, the captain even ordered them to stay put even though they could've been saved.. To think some didnt even die because of drowning, they could've still be alive today :'(
well the titanic wasnt fucking build in asia
When a boat is sinking don’t listen to your teacher just get the hell out of there and escape
Alias-elpiton with everyone or all persons that u can save obviously
A.I Channel yes
You mean the captain and tge crew of the boat
it was not the teachers’ fault for keeping them inside rather than the deck. It was the coward captain and people from the crew announcing on speakers telling them to stay in the booth. And as good people as they were, they believe the experience of the captain... I just wish they didnt...
THEY CAN'T JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE AND ESCAPE. the students in the video are lucky they jumped out on the right time because if they jumped too early, they will get hypothermia. it's cold and the waves are rough.
another reason why they listened to what the captain said is because they didn't know how bad the situation is. they literally had NO IDEA. they thought the captain knows what's best, but the captain is a selfish coward and decided to abandon the kids.
"Mom, just in case I dont have the chance to say it, I love you" that broke my heart 💔 I feel sorry for the parents' loss 🙁
In another video this text is referenced and its updated that the boy who sent it survived.
@@jessicamartel5920 Glad to hear that. It was painful to hear that sentence but I am really glad they survived.
If any knew they were gonna die they would be acting much different. But they laughed and made jokes. The sad part is when the rooms slowly fill with water, only small air pockets are left where all of the students would of been scratching, biting, and dragging people down to get a last breath. Their last moments would of been attacking each other and drowning each other for the last bit of air. It would be truly terrible to have friends now attacking you out of basic instinct of survival.
@@Bradmhj it must be so painful
If the all student to the water maybe all survive
my heart breaks for that little 6 year old who lost her whole family and has to live her whole life without them... and at 6 years old thats old enough to remember them and to remember the situation... shed be 12 now, i wonder how shes doing
I really can't imagine losing whole family like that... It makes me really sad...
nwh91 I saw on the UA-cam the other day, not sure if it’s true but I heard she was bully along the way. This is crazy.
Dy Falla I don’t doubt she’s gonna get bullied and have a hard life. Apprently, in a Korean society, being an orphan is such a bad thing. It’s like u’ve become a disease that people don’t want anything to do with u. It sucks because its not like u wanted to be an orphan! It’s infurariating!
Apparently there was no more life vests and her older brother (who was 7) gave his sister his life vest :(
@@jessalygonzalez7754 And he also gave her sister a chance to live. May her family and other victims' souls rest in peace.
The students were my age now, that just breaks my heart
Same 😭😭😭 they are 97's right?
@@watermelondream4044 the captain should've died in that ship too! Leaving the passengers behind only to safe yourself? So selfish
NeoTreasurePinKids StayZenBlinkMaker yeah they are...same as me as well. This breaking my heart so much
CherryBlossom88 I'm 97 too, It broke my heart when watching videos and news again recently. As if they're alive, they would have been working on their favorite jobs like me now.
i'm 98's they will be the same as my age if they survive. it's sad but this really help me stop wasting my time doing unimportant thing because I will feel gulity for them
the kids would have been in uni by now working for their dreams... but now they are in a better place RIP to all the young souls that were lost . Never forget 416
Jinan S the 250+ students could’ve done something useful to society if they were still alive. They could’ve been the future artists, doctors, or even scientists. The captain and the crew people are just trash and that’s a waste of space for this world already.
300 children murdered by the corrupt adults of society who couldn't give a shit about them. the engineer, the crew, the captain, the coast guard, the air rescue team, and even the president cared more about their reputation and looks than the lives of children. The only people who cared were the civilian divers who volunteered to help search for bodies, many traumatized and one even committed suicide due to the horrors he saw. Even the vice principal killed himself, from the guilt that it was his idea to go on the field trip. All these good people gone.... while the murderers don't feel an once of remorse or shame.
@@mikei6605 just the principal who did suicide. Not the vice.
Now realizing that hurts me...I feel so bad but now they are in a better place where no one can hurt them
Rest In Peace 😔🤍
This is honestly so sad and so disgusting!!! The captain from Titanic sank with the ship, but this captain was a coward and left with his crew!!! Many of these people wouldn't have been dead if the captain wasn't selfish. I saw how all the students felt when they were inside. They were saying goodbye and were scared to death. Is the captain even in jail for what he did? I'm so mad right now...
He escaped the death penalty but is currently life sentenced
@@aneliya.687 Thanks for telling me. At least I'm at ease that he is being punished but that won't fix the damage he did to all their families...
And the captain for the titanic was ironically drunk! He deserved it
riri
He shouldn’t have the death penalty. He needs to rot in jail.
Ive read somewhere and alot of people told me that the president at the time was in some kind of after life cult or something and he purposely deneid help from other countries and let the kids die as a "Sacrifice"
I just cant watch one of theese videos without crying and thoose videos by the boys they were trying so hard to stay possitive even though they knew they were gonna die😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤I just cantt😭😭😭
just by looking at the boat makes me want to cry because of the other teenagers in that ship trapped inside
the ship sinking
just by wondering their reaction trying to escape the water
they were dead 45min by then, look at the timestamps
there are some videos of them before sinking, when the situation wasn't really serious they were joking, one of them even called himself 'the man of gravity' while standing due to the ships position while sinking. when they started noticing something was really off they started saying things they didn't do or what they would like to do, or something similar, one of them say 'I've never had a girlfriend', 'who is going to take care of my little sister?', 'is it going to be like the titanic?' or even one of tgem, before they started noticing something was extremely off, started singing the song from the titanic
@@viivelvet how did you know that

@@cukunyawtoru1863 it’s on UA-cam
That 6 year old girl just lost her family, why
MistaFadora there’s a video made about her. I heard she was bullied in school even after transferring 3 times a year. And she received no government support so right now, her uncle is struggling to take care of her without support.
sakura’s ponytail what ? Wow so sad
@@melody5893 that’s so fucking insane
@@imthecoolest50 that is absolutely disgusting, i want to give her a huge hug and tell her, everything will be alright
her brother, one year older than her gave her his jacket so she could live
0:57 really Broke my heart.
"Mom, just in case I don't have the chance to say it, I love you" and that's when my tears can't stop falling down. It's just reminded me I never told my grandma that I love her before her last breath due to some stupid embarrassing. It's so hurt and sad at the same time. May everyone who gone be in peace and have better life in their next life.
He survived too!!
if only they didnt listen to the announcement , more people could survive... 😞
Yeah and then when you consider the reason so many of them DID listen to it was bc they were kids trusting adults, it’s really disgusting honestly. Like, I think back to being 15 or 16 and if they told me it was safest to stay where I was, I’m sure I’d have trusted that they knew what they were talking about also... and just like these kids, wouldn’t have realized I shouldn’t have listened to them until it was much too late.
Yes, they will be still alive if they didn't listen but they listen, many innocent people died bc of that..
Yeah the captai commited suicide after 2 years of the incident the captain of titanic saved so much lives and went down with the ship
That 6 yrs old Little girl who was saved. Her dad, mom and older brother was left in the ferry. I saw a video about her, she is now living with her aunt and uncle and she was bullied by her classmates because she doesn’t have a mom nor a dad. It was a long a time ago when i watched the video but i believe she changed her name because of what happened.
Its really devastating losing both parents and a sibling. Today, that little girl must be 11 or 12 and i hope she’s doing fine now and have moved on with this. ❤️🙏
All these individual stories make it so tragic and harrowing. I hope that young girl has a support system now.
it hurts me, I'm crying
Whats even more said is the 6 year old girl only survived because her brother who was a year older than her gave her his life jacket 🥺
“Rules are meant to be broken” sometimes breaking the rules is a good thing
"Do as you are told"
I bet he'll regret that for the rest of his life
I remember our 2nd-grade teacher telling us this story..it was so sad. I am in 6th grade heading to 7th now, realizing this was the story she was telling.
Same , I was in 2nd grade when it happened . Now I'm in 8th
@@rustybookshelf8566 poor me saying im heading into 7th never knew my life was gonna go downhill 😂😂, but same I'm in 8th
jojo ohh I miss 8th grade, well if you don’t mind me asking, how was it?
@@ru_hxxpy if you are talking bout 8th. 8th grade was pretty chill, probably the best grade for me in middle school. most of the teachers were nice besides social studies, best schedule too, the block times were all so spaced out making it feel like the day is short.
i'm now 5th grade heading to 6th grade. i am still 10 but this hurts me. the stupid fucxxxx asshole captain said to not panic and he left. i hope he rots in hell.
Remember , when your life is in danger , only listen to two people, yourself and your parents if they are around you. Don't listen to strangers or even friends or captains
That's right
I used to read a comment from a Korean. He said: after 1 day when The ferry sank, most of student were still Alived. The students tried to message to their family to help them out. I cant imagine that Atmosphere they have suffered, around them all dark, scream, water and cold. Disgusting. R. I. P all angles
Love from Vietnam 🇻🇳
I hate the "stay still" word
Some of them stayed alive in the sewol ferry for two days their parents said that they received messages even after two days from announcing the sewol started sinking it was heartbreaking because I watched the diving bell documentary there was volunteers who wanted to dive in and check if there was any alive students there and there was a high possibility that there might be alive ones coz the air was trapped in the boat and in the inside it was nt completely overwhelmed by water
Rip sewol ferry students it was such a sad accident
no, if you watch the other documentary, it says the ship wasn't constructed that way to have air bubbles. they died very fast afer the sinking I think
@@glowfly1000 no, i think i also read somewhere that a bunch of girls also made facebook posts and sent messages asking for help and they stayed alive for 1-2 days i think. the parents showed the posts and asked for help but the govt just said they were pranks. all the passengers of the ferry were supposed to be a sacrifice. the government never intended to save them in the first place
@@priyanshishukla6499 that's just horrifying, so they did that underwater? I can't Even Imagine the feeling, from what I know, they only went back 3 months later to retrieve the body, that too, the civilian divers, not the government.

yea, see this? something clearly isn't adding up here.
@@dazvshi1585 i also saw someone say that a guy actually tried to help using diving bell. but some people tried to sabotage him and stop him from helping them. apparently the govt also deleted some footage from the children's phones before giving it to the parents
i just graduated from college then youtube just recommended me a lot of videos of sewol .
Same here. I was remember at time (0416) . I was trip with family on third day of new year ( Cambodia's new year ) and i checked my phone The Breaking News come out from allkpop page .
I know it's two years late but congrats, what program did you do? I'm in college right now. I hope to become a film director.
Why do i love to make myself cry
I can feel the anxiousness seeing your friends being rescued and just being there and wanting to be one of them. Rest in peace 🕊️
This makes me so angry that they didn’t care about anyone but themselves those poor children listening to the adults ended up dead, it breaks my heart , Thankyou soo much to those who helped rescue victims, I hope those who died are at peace my love goes out to all the families who lost someone in this incident ❤️❤️
This is why sometimes i don't wanna listen to adults
•Kookie CupCakez광기• same
"mom, just in case I don't have onather chance to say it, I love you".
😭😭😭.
This made me cry a lot.
The fact they all helped each other is the only thing that makes me happy
The fact one man saved over 20 people is amazing.
I know its been 6yrs but while watching this it makes me cry so much
RIP I'm not Korean but I can feel what they feel there
In case.... I love you 😭😭😭😭😭
It hurts my heart 😭😭
I cry at that moment😭😭😭
The rescuers are the real hero.
look up "
MS Herald of Free Enterprise" and see how real heroes work
@@ohhi5237 That's really insensitive. The rescuers in this tragedy are still heroes. No need to put them down for another instance of rescuers.
everyone else should’ve done the same as the boy who just jumped into the water... it breaks my heart😥💔 if they didn’t tell them to fk stay and not move bc it’s dangerous but told them to jump instead, many would’ve been alive rn...
Ive read somewhere and alot of people told me that the president at the time was in some kind of after life cult or something and he purposely deneid help from other countries and let the kids die as a "Sacrifice"
And the the kids didnt jump becuase they really trusted the captain
But later they found out he jumped out and left them but the boat was too tilted for them to do anything by themselves anymore
there were no adults all of the crew jumped off
I just cant watch one of theese videos without crying and thoose videos by the boys they were trying so hard to stay possitive even though they knew they were gonna die😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤I just cantt😭😭😭
The worst thing is just to be realistic... in the video it shows that the boat has already been full with water inside.... that means the people seen in the last clips were probably one ofthe last survivors... It's a shame what happened to the kids.... they didnt deserve this... they were killed by the teachers and captain... they told them to stay where they are and not move... if they didnt listen there would be hundrets of them still alive...
@@JP-de4uj the teachers had to follow the orders. They didn't know what kind of situation is this.
And the fact that those people who followed the instructions died and those people who not lived. RIP ANGELS
Somebody make every captain watch 'Neerja' so that if they ever come across a situation like this they don't act dumb!
"I love you, mom." was too painful 😭
“Mom, just incase I don’t have the chance to say it, I love you.”
"Mom, just in case I don't have a chance to say it, I love you." The first time I read that message it broke my heart
The captain should be the last one off the ship in any situation. He’s responsible for every single passenger.
Moral of the story : always get the Fuck out of sinking ships without listening to selfish cowardly crews
Salute to that 58 years old man 🤍🙏 Nakapag rescue sya Ng 20 Students sa sarili lang nyang sikap .
In the app that they originally used to text, the tiny 1 next to the message means it hasnt been read.
Seeing so much 1s next to the desperate texts that their parents sent was just chilling
I know that students should follow rules in order to live but during this kind of situation id better break the rules and get the hell out of there
I don't think u received enough insight on this situation since you decided to post this type of bs here
@@madhatter8509 no because some didn't listen and left and survived.
@@madhatter8509 that is what happen to most people that survives, they disobey the order.
Most people that follow the rule goes down with the ship
The ferry should have never even left the shore. Like the titanic it was reported to not have enough lifeboats for all of its passengers. And all the members of the crew on board should be ashamed of themselves saving there lives even though there was enough time to rescue other passengers. The government also was completely messed up the US marines were also in the area willing to help with the search and rescue of the passengers but the government had refused them. Than it was left as a cold case for like 4-5 years until they brought the ship back up. All the volunteering divers that aided in the rescue were told that they had to stop diving for the passengers that might have still been onboard the sunken ship. Seriously this sort of tragedy should have been handled much better than it was.
Also the ferry was holding 3 TIMES the allowed weight of cargo
It's because the captain told one of the crew members to steer even though it was her first time so she didn't know
there are no fucking lifeboats on a ferry nigga
us marine is NOT CAPABLE of salvage missions
Sorry to oppose but all of the passengers had their life jackets on. It was possible for them to survive and escape. But the fucking idiot crew told them to stay still.
This is way more worse than Titanic. Atleast in titanic the captain stayed in the ship & they were grown-ups! These were school kids and their captain left them.
Some of the passengers in the titanic were children and some of the passengers on the sewol were adults
Never understood the moral principle according to which adults are more disposable than children...
Don’t stay inside burning house,
Don’t stay inside sinking ship.
i am sorry to correct you.. but there are exceptions for submarines.. or nuclear blasts
@@stumpedii8639 hahaha yeah true
It’s a miracle that 6 year old little girl lived. I hope she; and the rest of the survivors; are doing ok.
Everybody understands the fustration of the parents who lost their sons and daughters, spent years with them and then just loosing them. Instead the captain just said "sorry" after killing hundreds.
I didn’t Know about this sewol ferry. When i watched the theory of Spring Day MV I literally started to cry.RIP those who died
THE FACT THAT THE *JAPANESE NAVY* AND *US NAVY* WANTED TO HELP but SOUTH KOREA'S GOVERNMENT REFUSES BECAUSE OF THE PRIDE ISSUE
I feel so pity for the 6 years old girl who lost her family, I hope everyone who were servived there is doing so well and I hope they have get the hell out of this trauma...
Don't people disgust you sometimes
cause me too.
For god's sake!!! Most of the students were my current age... 18!!! I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my best friends like that. Cause I think drowning is one of the worst deaths.You know what's happening and you can't escape!!! I pray for them to rest in peace wherever they are now!!! And my deepest condolences to the victims families!!🙏😞
I can't describe how much i hate this captain, I started crying when i saw the last clips from the students, if he wasn't so selfish everybody could been alive now
And I feel so sorry for the little girl who lost her family :(
So many people in the comments don't even realize it was an inside job. The whole thing was planned. The ship was already over weight before they put passengers on it. Also, the captain and it's crew were just puppets. They were instructed not to save them because they were a sacrifice. Even during the chatter on the comms that day between a crewman and the civilian rescuers...they told them that the cabin was empty already. And the rescuer asked him if he was sure and he said,"yes, yes.". They never intended to save them. The government even denied rescue efforts from the U.S. and Japan. Even though they were right there and willing to assist. Park Guen-hye was the president at the time and she was close with Choi Soon-sil, whose father was the leader of a shamanistic cult. He had influence over both of them. His name was Choi Tae-min. Feel free to look those names up and see for yourself.
Park didn't even respond until after it happened and later on the news said they were a "noble sacrifice". All their government was instructed to do was to send a helicopter to film the thing. You can find the video on youtube with comms from the rescuers. They were all cult members and Tae-min was considered to be like a Rasputin. The captain and crew weren't really responsible, they were simply puppets. I know it sounds crazy and I'm usually not one for conspiracy theories...but to me this one is believable. Everything seems to point at it being an inside job, influenced by cultish government officials. Park thought it would bring Tae-min back, since he basically claimed to be a God. That sacrificing a bunch of people would bring him back. Go ahead and believe the official story if you want but I've already seen and heard enough about it to know that shit doesn't add up. And now Park and Soon-sil are in prison. Part of it having to do with the discovered influence from Tae-min. There are articles and videos on here that support that theory.
Saving them was 100% possible. The only people to respond to the scene were civilians, which they can't really stop. But they did stop professionals from trying to rescue them and the navies of Japan and the U.S.. Also, very rarely does this ever happen where a captain and it's crew leave the ship first without really helping it's passengers first. You'd be hard pressed to find another incident like that in history at all. They knew good and well how many people were on the ship...and they left them and denied to the rescuers that there wasn't even anybody left in the cabins...when there were hundreds in there. If that doesn't leave you scratching your head, I don't know what will. This shit has inside job written all over it. A shame that more people don't realize it. ua-cam.com/video/zfEk8rYQtEo/v-deo.html
I honestly thought so too. And by reading your comment, it really does makes sense. I've seen the video where the crew denied that there no more passengers inside the cabins. The conversation between the rescuers and crew were really messed up. They were like "Yo, act cool. The president's watching" when Park went there to "investigate" the ship. I also thought it had something a dark political motive behind it because ministers and officials were really trying so damn hard to cover something up. It was so obvious when they speak in public.
There’s a lot that makes sense with that, but why would anyone risk prison time?? I mean are they that crazy? And how could they have so many hands involved to pull something so elaborate off?
there was no video when i clicked on the link. they took it down
I've heard about that as well... Those innocent lives 😭😭
I read on wiki page that captain and the crews were not the full-time sewol captain/crews. They got replaced by others. The real captain has been replaced because he warn his boss about the sewol bad condition or something like that. Its means that several people's knew about sewol actual condition but still proceed their journey to Jeju. Poor souls has been sacrifice because of their greed. I can't even imagine die in such terrified situation.
Rest in peace.
Sleep tight, much love for the victims from Italy
This is heartbreaking
Same thing happened in the Twin Towers collapse. They were told to stay at their desks. Even the ones near the exit were blocked by security and told to go back inside.
It must be killing two students inside that they cannot see the family ever again and the fact that they still had the courage and had their hopes high kills me inside,😢may God bless your family with strength😢 there are no better place as stars now. They will always be remembered
I suddenly cried reading the texts messages :(( Fly high angels
I pray for strength for all the families affected by this tragedy. so many wishes. these innocent babies never deserved this.
I found about this incidence last day... I can't stop thinking about these innocent kids! If it can effect a stranger so much, imagine what the parents must be feeling. I cannot imagine such positive, intelligent, beautiful young people had to meet such an unfortunate death... What a shame! 💔
Imagine sinking with your family not knowing your 4 year old daughter got out on her own and survived, while everyone else in your family died. Terribly tragic
My tears won't stop falling as I watch this report 6 years after
The captain of this ship should be called CRIMINAL! imagine saying stay in the ship to save your lives and you being rescued while the students are doing everything so they all could survive you know? The captain of the Titanic saved a lot of lives and he even went down with his ship as a tradition my heart still aches 😢🎗️
This is literally hurting my head right now i couldn't help but cry...they must have been so teriffied to death.
That 6 year old should be my age by now, I wonder how she's doing...
still breaks my heart. RIP to all victims, you will not be forgotten!
The crew sealed their deaths when told to say put. Once they did tell them to abandon it was too late as the ships stairways and hallways were impossible to get out because it was too far tilted. A maritime expert said if they tried to abandon ship when the crew did there would have been a lot more survivors even if they were in the water waiting for fishing boats to pick them up. The crew announced for them to say put and seconds later they left the ship. Cowards!!!
There’s a little video of a victim with his mom it started off when he was young then slowly turned into a handsome boy his name is Kim Donghyun I really hope he made it and the other students to I feel so sad that there’s a bunch of families missing their son and daughters 😭❤️
10 years passed and I am still hurting for the parents. God bless them. I know parents who never recovered from losing their child.
Tbh this tragedy is a perfect example of don’t do something just because a whole bunch of people are doing it,follow ur instinct or something like that😿
When a ship is sinking or a plane is crashing the pilot will ALWAYS be the last to leave and not the first
So heartbreaking 😫😫
Omg I can't even watch this it's to tragic for me becuse my brother's birthday is on the day and I just don't want to celebrate but just cry for them angles RIP 😭💜💜💜
Literal tears seeing those messages, cant imagine what their families went through
I just hate that captain
How can he do this to the innocent souls
I am so heartbroken
May rest in peace for poor souls
The captain just had to tell the children to get outside. Just once. They could have survived.
bro tf
the captain akways has to leave last. this one is so selfish i cant
This news and the covid 19 makes me depressed Rest In Peace to all the loss lives
The older bro told his younger sibling to wait for help n instructions @1:21? I would have told my younger siblings to trust their guts and do whatever they can to escape even if it means "disobedience" to stay put. I feel so strongly about this tragedy because I have younger siblings of similar ages to the victims and I just can't imagine losing them this way.. This is really sad.
This was murder. Telling people to stay below deck when the ship is sinking, yeah sure.
Obedient to a fault. Man I wish the students could have had a leader to advise them to get off the ferry
Today in my history class, we talked about asian culture, and my teacher told us about this tragedy. I am sorry for those students😢
This still break my heart ㅠㅠ
Legit, in that one kid that would have been telling people we need to get out. If the ship is sinking, get somewhere where you wont be trapped... some of these kids telling each other to put on live vests... trying to keep each other calm... they had most sense then the captain and crew.
I can tell that the captain and other crews are having a trauma about this incident
And
How sad. Too bad.
My korean husband told me about this tragedy when we met and i couldnt stop crying because of how horrific it sounded and seeing all the old reports, images, interviews,.... breaks my heart even more.
we will always remember 🎗💛
We can learn from this. Go outside as soon as we can !
Yeah no if a ferry is sinking im not staying still,Im getting out
Thank you. I don't care what anybody is saying. Because I know captain and crew sticks together
don't they have those little boats that has air in it? just in case if something bad happens? why didn't they just let the students out especially since there are life vests in them anyways?
THE FACT THAT THE *JAPANESE NAVY* AND *US NAVY* WANTED TO HELP but SOUTH KOREA'S GOVERNMENT REFUSES BECAUSE OF THE PRIDE ISSUE
Tje captain was the first to get out of the ship
And apparently the korean government forced and sabotage the korean rescurers

So many people in the comments don't even realize it was an inside job. The whole thing was planned. The ship was already over weight before they put passengers on it. Also, the captain and it's crew were just puppets. They were instructed not to save them because they were a sacrifice. Even during the chatter on the comms that day between a crewman and the civilian rescuers...they told them that the cabin was empty already. And the rescuer asked him if he was sure and he said,"yes, yes.". They never intended to save them. The government even denied rescue efforts from the U.S. and Japan. Even though they were right there and willing to assist. Park Guen-hye was the president at the time and she was close with Choi Soon-sil, whose father was the leader of a shamanistic cult. He had influence over both of them. His name was Choi Tae-min. Feel free to look those names up and see for yourself.
Park didn't even respond until after it happened and later on the news said they were a "noble sacrifice". All their government was instructed to do was to send a helicopter to film the thing. You can find the video on youtube with comms from the rescuers. They were all cult members and Tae-min was considered to be like a Rasputin. The captain and crew weren't really responsible, they were simply puppets. I know it sounds crazy and I'm usually not one for conspiracy theories...but to me this one is believable. Everything seems to point at it being an inside job, influenced by cultish government officials. Park thought it would bring Tae-min back, since he basically claimed to be a God. That sacrificing a bunch of people would bring him back. Go ahead and believe the official story if you want but I've already seen and heard enough about it to know that shit doesn't add up. And now Park and Soon-sil are in prison. Part of it having to do with the discovered influence from Tae-min. There are articles and videos on here that support that theory.
Saving them was 100% possible. The only people to respond to the scene were civilians, which they can't really stop. But they did stop professionals from trying to rescue them and the navies of Japan and the U.S.. Also, very rarely does this ever happen where a captain and it's crew leave the ship first without really helping it's passengers first. You'd be hard pressed to find another incident like that in history at all. They knew good and well how many people were on the ship...and they left them and denied to the rescuers that there wasn't even anybody left in the cabins...when there were hundreds in there. If that doesn't leave you scratching your head, I don't know what will. This shit has inside job written all over it. A shame that more people don't realize it. ua-cam.com/video/zfEk8rYQtEo/v-deo.html
That 6 year old.. It's so devastating. There are videos that the students took in their rooms, and I'm pretty sure the little kid in one of them was her, since there was no parent and a female student was talking to her. It is so sad..
I cant even begin to say how sorry I am my heart hurts.
This just breaks my heart 😔 if this captain did not do that a lot more kids would be alive Rn some would be Married with kids some would have jobs 😭 i can’t 😢
Me and that 6 year old are literally the same age now. It hurts.
They trusted the authorities to much. Poor souls :(. We lost so many dreams.
The sad thing about this disaster is that, unlike other ship sinkings (Costa Concordia and Estonia come to mind), many of the passengers simply obeyed orders which led to their deaths. Why would the crew order passengers to stay put on a sinking vessel, when they could easily have walked out on to deck earlier and been picked up before the heavy list made any form of evacuation impossible. Why was the captain once again one of the first off, before the hundreds of others who died (even Schettino only managed to kill 30 people before escaping). This was inexcusable
So many students could have been saved. There were people there trying to help but were sent away. That captain ugh I can’t even explain it I know the families are 10x more mad at him. It makes no sense why, why. So selfish so so selfish
