The ferry “Sevol”

There is a big disaster in South Korea now. On April 16 at the south-western coast in South Korea the ferry “Sevol” had sank. Among the passengers there were mostly children: students and their teachers. The hole school are going to a trip to an island Chegoodo. It was also reported that there is a Russian boy Vyacheslav Sercov who was born in 1997, now he is still missing. There was 475 people on the ferry, 179 are saved now, 26 people are dead, and 270 are still missing.

According to preliminary version, the cause of the wreck was a collision with an underwater rock.

The investigators learned that before the crash at the helm of sunken ship was not the captain, but his third helper. Why it was like this – nobody knows. When the ferry started to sank, the ship's crew required the passengers not to leave their rooms, so children didn't have an opportunity to save themselves. And the most unbelievable thing is that the captain and the crew left the sinking ship one of the first.

By now the saving operation is still undone. Many people hoping that in the ferry there are still alive people.
