Today, the south korean ferry Sewol(6,825-ton), which is the biggest in Korea, capsized about at 9am. It was carrying exactly 462 pepole, mostly high school students from Ansan (near Seoul), who were travelling as a school trip from Incheon to Jeju island. Only a few passengers were rescued by fishing and other commercial vessels, which were first on the scene before the arrival approximately 30 minutes later of Korean Coast Guard and Navy ships, backed by helicopters. At least officials reports said that rescuers saved 175 people from freezing waters as the passengers, 4 people died and 283 other people are unaccounted for. The American War-Ship USS Bonhomme Richard and its helicopter assisted in the area operation also. Thanks for help USA. Please pray for these pitiful kids... I hope for the safe return ! ! ! Its time to show that all you guys can survive from there. STAY STRONG !!!!!!
