The U.S. Navy was denied permission by the South Korean Navy & Coast Guard to participate in the rescue, when the USS Bonhomme Richard was there, with plenty of Marine Corps Transport Helicopters to rescue the whole lot of them.
The fact that the one girl who said “isn’t this the kind of situations where they tell us to stay put while they run for their lives.” Was so accurate it’s sad
“We didn’t check the cabins but it seems most of them are out” the fact that this is a conversation between the Air Force and coast guard only makes this even more horrifying.
those girls in the beginning saying “isnt this the situation where they tell us to stay put but they run away by themselves? and those who disobeyed and ran away survived, like that one subway accident?”
I hope those girls did what they had to do when they know what to do ;(( they sort of predicted their fate. But they followed instructions and we can't blame them.. ;((
@@flourishwithzel Asian countries are pretty strict in following your elder/superior orders. The irony being the one's that didn't follow the orders elsewhere would've been seen as problem/bad kids despite being right in these type of situations.
liz suguitan i think any student would follow the adult’s instructions at the ship.. since we are always told that the adults know whats best for us. This tragedy is truly heartbreaking and all the students and passengers must have been terrified..
Only advice you can give to anyone on a sinking ship is: 1. Don't get trapped inside. Stay outside, stay on top, stay visible for rescuers. 2. If there's time, find anything you can use to float with/on once the ship has sank. 3. If you can see land, make your way towards it.
@@LETMino85 Yeah, with the Titanic i believe people still inside were locked in or asleep whereas everyone else was trying to get to a life boat. But i do understand that these kids were told to stay where they are. But i'd expect after a certain amount of time for them to take their own initiative to leave the ship. But perhaps they only decided once it was already too late.
What exactly would it take for normies to realize this, and everytime something like this happens, it's a sacrifice, people were paid to do it, roles were set and consequences for said accomplishes faked. I do not understand how npcs still don't get it 😅😂
@Hi My Name Is crewmen survived 16 days after Pearl Harbor...they were banging on the hull and could be heard but no one could get to them. If children survived in there for days....I can't even imagine :(
The korean goverment and the people involved probably wants to bury this story but i think it needs to be heard, this was the outcome of a corrupt system.
@@Morgan-li8qy Korean schools are constantly raising awareness of this tragedy and every April 16th, people wear yellow ribbons for the victims. The Korean government wants to bury it, but the people do not
The students trusted thier teachers, the teachers trusted the crew members and the crew members trusted their captain... And the captain escaped faster than anyone...
The New Yorker could have dug deeper and told you the names of the owners of the boat and all their wealthy and powerful friends who allowed this disaster to happen. But it didn't. The New Yorker is a disgrace.
Surely he must have been charged with treason and faced the death penalty for abandoning those children on his ship… assuming he hasn’t already killed himself.
The diver literally spoke the fact that they wouldn’t need any divers if they have saved before fully sinking of ship but all they did was just reporting each other not trying to save people. It’s heartbreaking 😭RIP💐
The statement at the beginning when the girl says "those that listened to instruction died and those that didn't lived." I felt that, along with other statements. Those kids were doing as they were told and died being obedient and that breaks my heart. If they were given the opposite instructions most if not all of them could have survived. That hurts.
If these kids were Westerners they would not have obeyed this instruction, however Asians are accustomed to obeying their superiors which this tragedy so clearly reveals and it cost them their young lives, so very sad. The President spent the day in bed! Shows her complete lack of empathy!
@paperchasin23 First of all, don't put such an arrogant statement under a documentary of literally hundreds of people dying and second, I agree to some extend but not all rules are bad. There's a reason why school kids should attend it. There should be a line between completely obeying and not obeying at all. Maybe it would have saved your life in this particular situation, but does breaking rules help you when you want to find a job? A definite no.
@@corafabian567 Yes. Its true both of you say. But in America leadership and thinking for yourself is stressed while in Asia respecting leaders and government is bad even when the leaders are wrong. See whats happening in China? All the mainland want Hong Kong to submit and bend over to Xi just like they do but the younger more educated Westernized crowd in Hong Kong want their freedom.
"So most of the passengers are out then?" "Yes, they are".. The audacity of this statement.. a blatant lie and he knew it. What a horrible human being.
"So we can presume there is almost no one in the ferry then?" "Yes, yes." Yeah! An honest person who cared about human life wouldn't use or accept such loose language like "presume" or "almost no one".
*EVERY life* is important. Every student there has their parents or siblings or friends or love ones waiting for them... as long as we are not sure we CANNOT PRESUME THAT THERE IS NO ONE THERE :"( because there is still a chance that someone is left behind! he was so cruel and evil...i wonder how he lives now knowing that *because of his actions* many people died... :"(
The diver says, “I remember this completely. How do you, the elites of our society say that you don’t remember?” The families/people behind him breaking down after he says that is so sad because they too will always remember while the elites “laze around” as the other guy says
UPDATE: This documentary is currently nominated for an Oscar under the category of best documentary (short subject). Hopefully this nomination will help raise awareness for the fight that still continues on nearly six years after the disaster.
I hate the fact that they had so much time to get to the deck and get rescued, but the captain told them to stay put and all of them just drowned, when they had so much time to escape. Their deaths were preventable.
Right like they would’ve been better off jumping into the water. The whole coast guard shd be put on trial for that too for not trying to save them and telling them to stay put.
@@sheanthesheep8816 it was the captain who ordered everyone to stay put. In the call at 3:00, the coast guard told the captain it is his judgement order evacuation. He is the one in the scene and in the position to order the passengers, not the coast guard. But instead, the captain escaped without ordering evacuation. And might not have told the coast guard that there are still a lot of passengers inside. The fault of the coast guard here is their incompetence or inefficient rescue operation.
Everyone had life jackets. If only they were not stuck inside the ship...they would have made it. I didn't see many lifeboats in the ship so that must have been one of the reasons why the captain asked everyone to stay inside their rooms.
Couldn’t agree more.. even the rescue team confused they didn’t see anybody jump to the water at the beginning.. I know when ship sinking it is dangerous for anybody around the ship, because it will pull water and things around the vessel as they sunk, like strong gravity, but it is much more better than trapped inside and do nothing.
More the fault of the coast guard. Its their job to have courage. Considering they were on scene when the captain evacuated its fair for him to assume they would conduct an orderly evacuation. Ya know considering its supposed to be their job.
He just told everyone to stay put while he saved himself. I would've gave my life to save them because they're just kids and now they're never gonna be able to see their family again. If you watch the one or two minute video of it you'll see the boys last words were so heartbreaking😭
24:13 "open this gate! Kids were killed while waiting. They waited and died." "The kids were killed waiting. Don't tell me to wait." This basicaly breaks my heart.
The fact that 90% of the ferry was still on surface yet they still decided to keep those people inside until it fully submerged is incomprehensible. How sickening and disgusting.
EXACTLY 😭 Like why, sorry to say this but like are they dumb or stupid! Like what is wrong with them they could have said stand up and move that side at least So the Teacher's can hold them and they can at least try to get out But instead they let the teenagers/children to stay there This is so horrible 💔
When it comes to a choice between following your years of strict obedience and compliance training or following survival instincts, the strongest wins out, namely, compliance.
there was also a U.S. navy ship (USS Bonhomme Richard LHD-6) that SPECIALIZED in water and air rescue with 1000 marines on board that offered the SK government to help TWICE but they refused both times for their pride..
They offered to help with search of bodies afterwards as well but the conditions were so dismal that divers could not go in safely. They had made a list of safety conditions and improvements for the South Korean government to fulfill before they could help with the dive, but the South Korean government refused after seeing it and decided to move forward with rescue through another Korean company which proved largely unsuccessful.
I think thats the problem with korean society. Pride and the reluctance to take the iniative if their superior tells them to stand down, even when they know they are in the wrong...
Its extremely sad to hear the mom say that she regretted asking her daughter to follow the teachers instruction instead of asking her to escape. it must be so heartbreaking for a parent to lose their child like that, no one expected it coming
Kim Gwan-Hong was a true hero, and he and the other civilian divers deserve maximum praise and respect. They exceeded basic humanity and pushed themselves beyond. I am truly humbled.
Well if every way out is blocked by fire in that burning house, how whould you get out? :/ btw this is kinda a secret buuut... im kinda scared of big ships and boats.. ye ik xD
Yeah! It's like the point the girl made in the beginning. I think it was something along the lines of "Don't they always say to 'stay safe and keep put' and then just leave? And the people who don't follow those order survives?". That girl sounds absolutely right in this case!
Those final words were so haunting yet tragic. "The birds were so tiny and beautiful. And their call so touching... But it sounded like the students' wailing. Asking me not to leave them behind." My heart truly goes out to the families and to those who lost their lives that day.
The diver who he did his job and found around 30 bodies suffered so much to the point he attempted suicide and There is captain saying I dont remember anything with that shameless face. May all those who died rest in peace in Heaven.
the government is so corrupt that I wouldn't be surprised if the death wasn't a suicide. either way, I am so sorry and everyone is so thankful for these divers who are so nice to help.
This happened alot of time majority of the rescuers team only rescue for money,and i've seen alot of fishermen boats not even receiving money but wanted to help! This society is pure evil
Also not mentioning that the government don't have professional diver while Jeju, as I know is an island where everyone goes when you visit Korea. The government even didn't anticipate this.
This is heartbreaking on so many levels. That girl who said “only those who disobey the orders usually survive” didn’t know how right she was. They all just sat there and drowned while the captain fled...why weren’t they evacuated??!!!??
@@sk-sy5ji In most Asian culture, adults and elderly are to be respected. You must listen to them as they are seen to be more wise. Since the captain was older and was entrusted, they had hope.
In thier mind, it could be like this: They knew nothing bout ship That captain must know bout his own ship better than us who only know how to pay ticket moving panickly could make ship center gravity become much worse than it already are The captain might try to keep us in order To facilitate for proper & more efficient evacuation process Rather than mindlessly running through ship like maze & disrupt evacuation Too bad that captain dicide to panick more than the confused passanger
“isn’t this the kind of situation where they tell you to stay put, it will be okay, and they run for their lives ?” it’s so heartbreaking that she wasn’t wrong
@@DaughtersOfIssachar they recovered a bunch of phones, and videos could be saved in the cloud and such. So it might be How they got the video, even if that kid didn’t survive.
the fact that all the captain had to do was ask everyone to calmly put life jackets on and head to the deck and they would've most likely survived is devastating. i hope the survivors and parents can forgive themselves and live happily..the captain on the other hand...i won't even say what i hope for him
when the diver said, "those tiny birds.. were flying around.. in the storm. the birds were so tiny and beautiful. and their call so touching... but it sounded like the student's wailing, asking me not to leave them behind." i cried.
I know, that really hurt my soul. You can just see the trauma and pain in his eyes. May The Lord give him peace. RIP to all who died on that ferry. It really seemed like they could have been easily rescued, and that just makes it so much harder to accept. I hope the families and parents find peace one day. ❤
Remember the girl who said “isn’t this the kind of situations where they tell us to stay put while they run for their lives.” She unfortunately passed away in this disaster.
when he lied and said that there weren’t anyone else left on the ship broke me. there were children screaming and wailing for help and he completely ignore them and that’s so cruel. straight up murdering hundreds of people.
it doesn't make sense to me.. I dont understand how people would stay in a boat when its tipped on its side. What do you think is going to happen? of course you should run out of a trapped room
They discovered that the president was a part of a cult and this was all planned, which is why they disregarded so many young lives. The president was impeached and sentenced.
@@hvrtrie right. One of them really said “it’s a shame they couldn’t land a helicopter on the boat earlier, because it would’ve made a scene”….like wtf?
"I told my daughter to follow the guidance. And that was my biggest regret." Can’t imagine the mother’s pain, even though it’s not her fault at all and they put their trust on someone who’s selfish and not worthy (the captain and his crew, not the teachers). May all the victims Rest In Peace.

@@8dimensionalt.685 Stop it's not her fault no one could predict what was going to happen all she could do was tell her to listen and follow but because everything was out of hand she unfortunately passed her daughter wouldn't know that neither her mother
@@8dimensionalt.685 That is an awful thing to say. The most rational thing for her to do in the moment was to tell her daughter to do what she was told. How was the mother meant to know that the people in charge were wildly incompetent? What if you told your son to follow his inner voice instead of following orders and in doing so, he made the wrong decision. Then what? Nobody really knows what they’d do in that situation. The captain and people in charge are the only guilty ones here and it is extremely disrespectful to say otherwise.
"The one who was supposed to protect us was absent there" - survivor I wish this accident will haunt the captain and the authorities for being coward and negligence
I aTe 2130 mOrE BowLS oF rIce tHaN YoU no doesn’t matter I’m an army too but you need to know when it’s a good time to bring the boys up and when it’s not

You are disgracious. Do NOT disrespect the hundreds of lives lost in a situation where it could easily have been avoided! Korea isn't Kpop!! Some people here are mourning over this tragedy! Some have even lost friends to the Sewol Ferry accident they knew in this comment section. Some even survived this and are now traumatized. And you decide to ignore all of that? Wtf! Also 6 years later and some bodies have never even been discovered yet. Some families are mourning over a HIGH SCHOOL student, whose body hasn't even been discovered yet, and didn't even get a proper burial, and here you are mentioning Kpop in a comment section full of mourning and sadness. Disrespectful.
pls stop attacking this one army, tragedies like this already happens in the word and do u think adding one will feel good? i know this person did wrong but it's not right to attack that person because of that. let's educate this person instead. please
My best friend died in this tragedy and the last things he said to me were I cant swim anymore. No one deserves to experience such a thing this whole experience was horrendous for me I am looking for ways to escape the guilt and sadness that took over me that day
That made me cry. If she was under the wrong management, she'd get scolded for not being professional enough. If she was very lucky, she'd have gotten a pat on the shoulder for we're humans after all.
Her crying made me realize she’s also just under the command of the elites. She’s not here to fight anyone. She did the bravest thing despite who she had to be, she had sympathy, she had a heart. I don’t know what was going through her head at that very moment. But a tragedy’s effects ripples endlessly, rightly so, a tragedy like this should never happen again.
@@kushpaladin The captain didn't order evacuation, but rather said stay on the ship.And he was the only one who escaped.I could tell the situation through the children's phone cameras.I think 36 years is less.
“So no one is left in the cabins?” “No, they escaped when it started tilting” “So we can presume there is almost no one on the ferry then?” “Yes, yes” Lies. Disgusting. The STAGED RESCUE was even more disgusting 💀
Yeah, the radio communication was solid evidence of gross negligence. And Gross Negligence is a grave criminal offense in most countries. Were these officials not prosecuted? I find it mind-blowing that SK law had them walk away like nothing happened and poured all the blame at the captain.
they assumed so because the ones in the cabin are the ones who should go out last and the captain is the one who should administer for instructions or who should be the one who made the call. if nobody is in the cabins that SUPPOSEDLY means no civilian will be inside the ferry...but because of the selfishness of the captain who escaped then told everybody to stay put - the civilians died.
i cried watching this. i was 12 when this happened and didn't think much about it because i had no idea how bad the entire situation was. i thought it was merely a tragic accident, but it turns out all the kids could have been saved. i'm broken.
Rewatching this again. The students had faith in the adults. They stayed put, they followed everything. They had a lot of time to get the help needed. My heart goes out to all of the victims and their family.
Yeah, when you get older, you realize most older people are just as dumb as kids. Maybe dumber cause kids know theyre dumb and open to listening to others.
Yeah, but if i was in that position I don't think i would've stayed put. I don't really have that much trust in adults every since i realized that adults are just like us but older, and i am the type of kid to not follow rules.
God, we need to teach our children not to blindly trust authority. It's now things like this and Grenfell Tower that we must learn to teach our kids to get out and not sit and wait
The fact that one of the student survived is the bad boy student type thingy, he didn't follow rules or orders, and guess what, he survived, hes telling he's other classmates but no one would listen to him.
"We didn't check the cabins but we can presume most of them are out" If the captain just told them simply "get out of your cabins and get out" instead of "stay in your cabins" so many people would be alive rn.
WHAT baffles me is how they even came up with that presumption anyways! Footage around the ship shows hardly anyone in the waters, meaning they knew everyone was still trapped inside! They just wanted to believe their own lies that everyone had gotten out.
@@jinphany. IKR. Nothing explains this except for the fact that it was intentional. I even read somewhere that the fisherman volunteered to help but were denied.
It's simple, if ship is sinking get life vests on everyone and get on the top deck. If they would have told this instruction everyone would be alive rn.
Imagine being a student and showing up to class next week with all your friends dead. It said online that only ~75/325 students of the grade 11 class on the ship survived. What a tragedy. May the students rest in peace.
Coming back to this, I can't imagine how terrifying it was for those children struggling to survive before they died a very slow and painful death. Just the thought of being in their position is a horrible feeling.
@@carlgrimes1311 Tbh what caused the tragedy was a bad captain and telling the kids to stay put instead of evacuating immediately. They had plenty of time to escape, but the captain abandoned the children. Sadly, the kids drowned to death in the ship.
@@carlgrimes1311 Yeah I don't remember the details but the adults abandoned the kids. I'm not sure what the captain's name was but you could probably search it online.
@@alyzaguanzon4969 . I can’t believe that the captain and his crew members would ever do this to those innocent kids. When April 16 2022 comes, it will be 8 years ago. Was the captain found guilty or not guilty?
They didn’t even make the civilian divers retrieve the bodies. The civilian divers felt guilty the searched bodies for months. They are truly the only humanity left on earth
I heard that one of the drivers who retrieved their dead bodies committed suicide 2 years after the incident because it was a traumatizing experience and the kids were begging to save them.
Well the government divers were not trained. I well trust that if they had enough experience they would’ve. But the government should have prepared enough to expect situations like this and trained them. The divers would’ve also not been required had the crew and coast guard communicated better as the situation deteriorated.
They most definately should have tug boated the ship closer to shore immediately the fact they had to retire their PM before that happened says a lot. But like maybe not tell the kids in a sinking ship to stay put especially in a society(I'm not gunna go into detail here)where your life is pretty much over if you don't follow the rules and are always striving to be at the top and not be in trouble.
what angers me the most is how calm they were talking to each other while people were losing their lives. i hope every single one of them is haunted by what they’ve done to not only the folks that passed, but their families as well. may these poor victims rest in peace, I’m sorry they failed you.
They are trained to be calm in emergencies. Hostility will bring further chaos which will not help with the situation. But they could have done better in communication, for sure.
@@DrewYaang Trained? You must be joking? If they were trained properly they would know more and have clear answers and action, they literally waited until the ship sank to question are there more people on board which they found out when a swarm of kids emerged after ship capsized.. Instead of training they needed to have, they were trained for publicity status to be maintained as good and productive, "hey take pictures of our guys rescuing people that will look good in newspaper", his statement of calm conversation isn't asking for a screaming war of words but clear action, you can be calm and direct rescue properly..
Not everyone is like the Diver who had a conscience and even if it was not his doing, he committed suicide out of the frustration, but none of the real responsible ones will commit suicide, :>(
It’s heartbreaking knowing that those girls in the beginning had a bad feeling. The fact that pride is more important than saving those kids is so frustrating. They had such painful deaths, drowning is the worst. Seeing the parents kick the gates was so hard to watch knowing the anger and sadness they felt.All of those students had such bright futures ahead of them
How do you know that drwning is the worse ? My mom drowned and reanimated when she was 22 and later she told me the story of what hapenned and she told me that drowning is aa piecefull death and that if she had to die tragictly again she would prefer drowning over anything else
@@СимИсамов-ю2ф I wouldn't know since i never drowned myself . I,m just saying what my mom told me that happenned to her when she was young and i have no reason to doubt her words which was also confirmed by her sisters and brothers over the years and also since its one off her brothers that reanimated her .
Those people were so indoctrinated that they couldn’t make a decision to save their own lives. Those kids sat in cabins, while the ship was flooding and on its side, because no one told them to leave. How stupid can humanity get?
1. Thanks for the very comprehensive video with timeline. The little texts are just heartbreaking. 2. The crew is ridiculous. By the time a decision was made, the ship was essentially submerged. Hope this incompetence never happens again.
The diver who committed suicide because of the trauma tells everything about this situation. It's so heartbreaking to see some many lives taken away because of someone's selfishness and ignorance. RIP
There is another story that was not shown in this video, but was the most tragic. At the beginning of the incident, the Korean media misrepresented that all the students of the Sewol ferry had been rescued, so the parents were relieved and the rescue was delayed. The school also informed parents that all of them had been rescued due to this misinformation, and the parents cheered. But in reality it wasn't. Two hours after the misinformation, the parents could hear that most of the students had been locked up.
Also that their president at the time took about 5 hours to get to the scene after doing her make up and meeting a friend. She was also friend with the owner who was embezzling money and she allowed his shenanigans to continue. Yet she wasn’t to blame even though she let him. Those thieving awful people.
My whole body is so tense. I’m just imagining what it feels like to go dive in such a dark, non visible ferry and to just stumble on a dead helpless child. Just horrible
Aya Mysara yessss and some of the passengers also saved a few people. I feel like the rescue people should of called out to them or went in or something.
Diving wasn't hard atleast theaz someone looking out for you, being in a sinking ship would drive me nuts, I'd have died earlier b4 it sank due to mental illness
I cried so hard I dont think I can celebrate my birthday the same again after watching this VIDEO, I pray for all the students Children you Will NEVER be forgotten I Will always light a candle for ALL of you always remember your parents Love you so much.
The fact that those girls in the beginning [1:43] have foreseen their fate, but still followed the instructions is heartbreaking. If only they'd have trusted their instincts...
@@bananakun9995 afaik yes, the majority of students on board died with only two survivors of the students and a handful of other passengers and the crew lived.
The boy on the ferry: *"I don't want to die, there are still things I want to do. Who'll take care my mother?"* This is so heartbreaking, and the moment when the words are over ....
Like the one diver said they while in the ship it was like a maze, completely dark, they had to reach out with their hands to see. Can only imagine how traumatized he was to reach out and stumble on touching a dead body. That would scare and traumatize anyone but he did dozens of times so they could be found.
the vice principal of the school that was on the ship with them got out casue he was near a door....killed himself a bit after he was rescued as well. survivors guilt and he didnt think he deserved to live when his students couldnt.
The way the Korean government lied about all passenger's being evacuated is gut wrenching. This tragedy traumatised many parents and more, may the souls of the children rest in peace
I can't even imagine the pain that diver felt when he saw those lifeless kids underwater. The pain could really kill right there. Imagine their struggle while they're out of breath and still hoping that they'd get rescued. This is really hard to watch. RIP to all those souls.
The most terrifying thing about this disaster is the Capitan.... he deliberately let those kids to die... and the fact that this could have been avoided with one simple announcement... It's all so heart breaking...
"But their calls reminded me of the children wailing, begging me not to leave them behind." Chills. This is absolutely heartbreaking and disgusting, for those adults to abandon such young people who were bidding their farewells to their parents. They wanted to live, they trusted that the adults would help them, but they were abandoned by those that they trusted. I offer condolences to the families, even after all these years have passed.
Just like in plane crashes! They tell you to do this bracing position but it actually breaks your neck so you can die faster so people don't have to deal with much things
Nank Dug I thought the same, UNTIL HE KILLED HIMSELF A LOST HIS TWISTED MIND , SO SAD And the whole time I thought he really wanted to bring children back to FAMILY
My heart goes out to the parents who have to constantly relive this horrendous experience in their memories. It makes it all the worst knowing that nothing was done in a everything could have been done to save these students/people. How can people be so evil and mean! How can people devalue the life if another human! My heart is so shattered. 😔
The calls recorded were very disgusting. How horrendous it is for them to assume that no one was left on the ship when there's still people fighting for their lives inside...
Yes it’s a wrong assumption but usually in this type of situation you would assume that the crew would tell everyone to get on the highest point of the ship, outside. Yet the rescuers should’ve went in and looked instead of hovering around
@@JustMe-vs1kj Because civilian ships were evacuating people there was also no way to do a head count. Which should mean rescue continue until we are sure no one is left.
that girl at the beginning talking about this being one of "those kinds of situations" sent chills down my spine. my heart is full of sorrow for the people who lost their children, siblings, friends, classmates, etc. incompetence can kill.
speaking of the parents and other relatives who lost this day, you can actually find their reactions on here. i did not let one whimper or cry go unheard when i heard some of their yelling identifying their children. [: also, the divers who tried to rescue survivors..... seen an animation of what the bodies appeared like to them. that was a sight too.
"So no passenger is left in the ferry?" "Yes, people escaped as the ship started to tilt. We didn't search the cabins but it seems most of them are out" What the heck? for real?
@@grylltheonion yes but given the information being relayed and by that time, the ship was already tilting, I would think that it is a grave situation, no?
right i can’t remember what accident it was but a cruise boat tipped over and maybe less than 10 ppl died but the captain was sentenced to a couple years in prison for negligence because a captain is supposed to go down with their ship. they’re no supposed to leave
I aTe 2130 mOrE BowLS oF rIce tHaN YoU Yes like they can leave but to be one of the first people off the ship when you’re supposed to be the one that guides the crew?
I aTe 2130 mOrE BowLS oF rIce tHaN YoU Captain always has to go down with the ship until all passengers are safely rescued. It is a law in the constitution but it’s probably different in Korea
The most disturbing aspect of this tragedy was that it was completely avoidable. Almost everyone on that ferry could have been saved if it weren't for the cultural need to put public image ahead of peoples lives. Instead of staging a rescue, misleading the public and then attempting a cover up, the authorities could have actually organised a successful rescue and saved hundreds of lives.
@Brad Carman Was that the Captain's decision? I believe the owners of the ferry were very greedy and known for cutting corners. They hired the Captain on a temp basis.
What has me is how they ordered the divers to stop just so they couldn't be exposed more. This whole video gives me chills how could they be so unprofessional in a situation like this they basically played with these kids' lives.
I don’t know how but it started with watching this to watching full on documentaries about it. Rest in peace to everyone who died You will forever be missed🕊️❤️

Telling the passengers to stay put is like telling them to wait for their own death.
The girls who talked about staying put is not safe at 1:43, did they survive?

those girls in the beginning saying “isnt this the situation where they tell us to stay put but they run away by themselves? and those who disobeyed and ran away survived, like that one subway accident?”

@@flourishwithzel Asian countries are pretty strict in following your elder/superior orders. The irony being the one's that didn't follow the orders elsewhere would've been seen as problem/bad kids despite being right in these type of situations.
liz suguitan i think any student would follow the adult’s instructions at the ship.. since we are always told that the adults know whats best for us. This tragedy is truly heartbreaking and all the students and passengers must have been terrified..
You know what hurts more? The students messages to their parents and knowing that they ain't alive anymore..

@henry t Can you just stfu, this is the third time you are commenting this on the video you absolute garbage piece of trash. Go somewhere else.
Only advice you can give to anyone on a sinking ship is:
1. Don't get trapped inside. Stay outside, stay on top, stay visible for rescuers.
2. If there's time, find anything you can use to float with/on once the ship has sank.
3. If you can see land, make your way towards it.
Yepp, not entirely clear or understandable how not everyone got on top to be visible. Strange.
@@LETMino85 Yeah, with the Titanic i believe people still inside were locked in or asleep whereas everyone else was trying to get to a life boat. But i do understand that these kids were told to stay where they are. But i'd expect after a certain amount of time for them to take their own initiative to leave the ship. But perhaps they only decided once it was already too late.
+ don't stay near th eship while it's sinking, specially when it may just go underwater; it may drag you in.
@@DlcEnergynobody was locked in. That’s a big part of the movie that’s just not real, James Cameron did that to make it more dramatic

Remember Costa Concordia ? On what basis do these companies choose their captains !
Surely he must have been charged with treason and faced the death penalty for abandoning those children on his ship… assuming he hasn’t already killed himself.
The diver literally spoke the fact that they wouldn’t need any divers if they have saved before fully sinking of ship but all they did was just reporting each other not trying to save people. It’s heartbreaking 😭RIP💐
The statement at the beginning when the girl says "those that listened to instruction died and those that didn't lived." I felt that, along with other statements. Those kids were doing as they were told and died being obedient and that breaks my heart. If they were given the opposite instructions most if not all of them could have survived. That hurts.
If these kids were Westerners they would not have obeyed this instruction, however Asians are accustomed to obeying their superiors which this tragedy so clearly reveals and it cost them their young lives, so very sad. The President spent the day in bed! Shows her complete lack of empathy!
@paperchasin23 you sound like an American Dad who likes trucks and has 51 American flags hanging around their house
paperchasin23 your comment sounds racist.
@paperchasin23 First of all, don't put such an arrogant statement under a documentary of literally hundreds of people dying and second, I agree to some extend but not all rules are bad. There's a reason why school kids should attend it. There should be a line between completely obeying and not obeying at all. Maybe it would have saved your life in this particular situation, but does breaking rules help you when you want to find a job? A definite no.
@@corafabian567 Yes. Its true both of you say. But in America leadership and thinking for yourself is stressed while in Asia respecting leaders and government is bad even when the leaders are wrong.

"So most of the passengers are out then?" "Yes, they are".. The audacity of this statement.. a blatant lie and he knew it. What a horrible human being.
"So we can presume there is almost no one in the ferry then?"
"Yes, yes."
Yeah! An honest person who cared about human life wouldn't use or accept such loose language like "presume" or "almost no one".

I hate the fact that they had so much time to get to the deck and get rescued, but the captain told them to stay put and all of them just drowned, when they had so much time to escape. Their deaths were preventable.
Right like they would’ve been better off jumping into the water. The whole coast guard shd be put on trial for that too for not trying to save them and telling them to stay put.
@@sheanthesheep8816 it was the captain who ordered everyone to stay put. In the call at 3:00, the coast guard told the captain it is his judgement order evacuation. He is the one in the scene and in the position to order the passengers, not the coast guard. But instead, the captain escaped without ordering evacuation. And might not have told the coast guard that there are still a lot of passengers inside.
The fault of the coast guard here is their incompetence or inefficient rescue operation.
Everyone had life jackets. If only they were not stuck inside the ship...they would have made it. I didn't see many lifeboats in the ship so that must have been one of the reasons why the captain asked everyone to stay inside their rooms.
@@sheanthesheep8816 the person also asked if someone was on the deck or someone jumped into water or not
Couldn’t agree more.. even the rescue team confused they didn’t see anybody jump to the water at the beginning.. I know when ship sinking it is dangerous for anybody around the ship, because it will pull water and things around the vessel as they sunk, like strong gravity, but it is much more better than trapped inside and do nothing.
I cried and am still crying.
That Captain makes me sick.
The people telling then to stay put make me sick.
This whole incident makes me sick.
More the fault of the coast guard. Its their job to have courage. Considering they were on scene when the captain evacuated its fair for him to assume they would conduct an orderly evacuation. Ya know considering its supposed to be their job.

they assumed so because the ones in the cabin are the ones who should go out last and the captain is the one who should administer for instructions or who should be the one who made the call. if nobody is in the cabins that SUPPOSEDLY means no civilian will be inside the ferry...but because of the selfishness of the captain who escaped then told everybody to stay put - the civilians died.

If the captain just told them simply "get out of your cabins and get out" instead of "stay in your cabins" so many people would be alive rn.
WHAT baffles me is how they even came up with that presumption anyways! Footage around the ship shows hardly anyone in the waters, meaning they knew everyone was still trapped inside! They just wanted to believe their own lies that everyone had gotten out.
@@jinphany. IKR. Nothing explains this except for the fact that it was intentional. I even read somewhere that the fisherman volunteered to help but were denied.
Its cruel really
It's simple, if ship is sinking get life vests on everyone and get on the top deck. If they would have told this instruction everyone would be alive rn.
It was a cult mass murder ritual their is a cult that runs the south korean government like a puppet
Imagine being a student and showing up to class next week with all your friends dead. It said online that only ~75/325 students of the grade 11 class on the ship survived. What a tragedy. May the students rest in peace.
That would be so sad
Well, it happens in Gaza frequently.

@@willa9880 yea but nothing about that aged well
Coming back to this, I can't imagine how terrifying it was for those children struggling to survive before they died a very slow and painful death. Just the thought of being in their position is a horrible feeling.
So Alyza Guanzon? What actually happened to the MV Sewol boat and who really caused this tragedy 7 years ago?
@@carlgrimes1311 Tbh what caused the tragedy was a bad captain and telling the kids to stay put instead of evacuating immediately. They had plenty of time to escape, but the captain abandoned the children. Sadly, the kids drowned to death in the ship.
@@alyzaguanzon4969 . Were there 13 or 14 crew members abandoning the kids in the ship? And what was the Captain‘s name?
@@carlgrimes1311 Yeah I don't remember the details but the adults abandoned the kids. I'm not sure what the captain's name was but you could probably search it online.
@@alyzaguanzon4969 . I can’t believe that the captain and his crew members would ever do this to those innocent kids. When April 16 2022 comes, it will be 8 years ago. Was the captain found guilty or not guilty?
The fact that they had civilian divers retrieving the bodies instead of the government is so ridiculous to me
They didn’t even make the civilian divers retrieve the bodies. The civilian divers felt guilty the searched bodies for months. They are truly the only humanity left on earth
I heard that one of the drivers who retrieved their dead bodies committed suicide 2 years after the incident because it was a traumatizing experience and the kids were begging to save them.
Well the government divers were not trained. I well trust that if they had enough experience they would’ve. But the government should have prepared enough to expect situations like this and trained them. The divers would’ve also not been required had the crew and coast guard communicated better as the situation deteriorated.
The Korean ‘right’ wingers are rotten
They most definately should have tug boated the ship closer to shore immediately the fact they had to retire their PM before that happened says a lot. But like maybe not tell the kids in a sinking ship to stay put especially in a society(I'm not gunna go into detail here)where your life is pretty much over if you don't follow the rules and are always striving to be at the top and not be in trouble.
i have nothing but respect for the divers. imagine going into dark deep water alone and all of a sudden a body passes you
😢

body of young people...
One of the diver just committed suicide due to its unfulfilled duties...

I cannot stop crying. This is so depressing. I pray for peace for all.families who lost their dearest ones.😢😢😢
what angers me the most is how calm they were talking to each other while people were losing their lives. i hope every single one of them is haunted by what they’ve done to not only the folks that passed, but their families as well. may these poor victims rest in peace, I’m sorry they failed you.
They are trained to be calm in emergencies. Hostility will bring further chaos which will not help with the situation. But they could have done better in communication, for sure.
@@DrewYaang Trained? You must be joking? If they were trained properly they would know more and have clear answers and action, they literally waited until the ship sank to question are there more people on board which they found out when a swarm of kids emerged after ship capsized.. Instead of training they needed to have, they were trained for publicity status to be maintained as good and productive, "hey take pictures of our guys rescuing people that will look good in newspaper", his statement of calm conversation isn't asking for a screaming war of words but clear action, you can be calm and direct rescue properly..
Same here, dear. I am confused. How can people relax while you are dying? Now, I am even afraid to visit Korea.
They should've panicked so that they would realize the situation because it seems they failed to do so
Not everyone is like the Diver who had a conscience and even if it was not his doing, he committed suicide out of the frustration, but none of the real responsible ones will commit suicide, :>(
It’s heartbreaking knowing that those girls in the beginning had a bad feeling. The fact that pride is more important than saving those kids is so frustrating. They had such painful deaths, drowning is the worst. Seeing the parents kick the gates was so hard to watch knowing the anger and sadness they felt.All of those students had such bright futures ahead of them
yes
How do you know that drwning is the worse ? My mom drowned and reanimated when she was 22 and later she told me the story of what hapenned and she told me that drowning is aa piecefull death and that if she had to die tragictly again she would prefer drowning over anything else

Those people were so indoctrinated that they couldn’t make a decision to save their own lives. Those kids sat in cabins, while the ship was flooding and on its side, because no one told them to leave. How stupid can humanity get?
@@BB99234KJ They were taught to obey the adults. It's a different culture, not stupid or clever.
1. Thanks for the very comprehensive video with timeline. The little texts are just heartbreaking.
2. The crew is ridiculous. By the time a decision was made, the ship was essentially submerged.
Hope this incompetence never happens again.
The diver who committed suicide because of the trauma tells everything about this situation. It's so heartbreaking to see some many lives taken away because of someone's selfishness and ignorance. RIP
What he committed suicide!!?
Suicide, nono more like he got permanently silenced.
I don't think it was suicide
He dived too deep to see the late students and guide them to the light.
@@mercyjoseph4178 The guy on 21:09 committed suicide.
There is another story that was not shown in this video, but was the most tragic. At the beginning of the incident, the Korean media misrepresented that all the students of the Sewol ferry had been rescued, so the parents were relieved and the rescue was delayed. The school also informed parents that all of them had been rescued due to this misinformation, and the parents cheered. But in reality it wasn't. Two hours after the misinformation, the parents could hear that most of the students had been locked up.
Also that their president at the time took about 5 hours to get to the scene after doing her make up and meeting a friend. She was also friend with the owner who was embezzling money and she allowed his shenanigans to continue. Yet she wasn’t to blame even though she let him. Those thieving awful people.
And it was only 2 km offshore. This is so heartbreaking. They could have higher chances to survive off the boat.

Aya Mysara yessss and some of the passengers also saved a few people. I feel like the rescue people should of called out to them or went in or something.

The fact that the captain literally escaped leaving his passengers on board is heartbreaking and disappointing!
Kid only care at students?
Student believe that captain
And worse saying he didn't know that he had to plan an escape route
and of course, DISGUSTING1!!
I though the captain was the last person to leave a sinking ship - not the first!
It kills me that the civilian diver felt more guilt than the ones who could have did more. Those weren’t his demons to live with or die with.
Like the one diver said they while in the ship it was like a maze, completely dark, they had to reach out with their hands to see. Can only imagine how traumatized he was to reach out and stumble on touching a dead body. That would scare and traumatize anyone but he did dozens of times so they could be found.
Its easy to say because were behind our phones typing our opinions
the vice principal of the school that was on the ship with them got out casue he was near a door....killed himself a bit after he was rescued as well. survivors guilt and he didnt think he deserved to live when his students couldnt.
@@poisedstool5136 if you dont even have such basic moral values outside your screen then stop pretending to be human.

manslaughter not murder
He also killed himself after

exactly. The way he just made an escape in the beginning. makes my heart break.
hes gonna get a big karma guys
It's the same as concordia, the ship capzizes captain Lies and escapes before every one.
you can't argue or questions the elders instructions or command in Korean or Japanese societies. Cultural attitudes
The part when he said "I don't remember".
At 9:20 you could see someone trying to break the window to get out. It chills me everytime I see it.
"But their calls reminded me of the children wailing, begging me not to leave them behind."
Chills. This is absolutely heartbreaking and disgusting, for those adults to abandon such young people who were bidding their farewells to their parents. They wanted to live, they trusted that the adults would help them, but they were abandoned by those that they trusted. I offer condolences to the families, even after all these years have passed.

This incident tells us that, sometimes, disobeying orders will make you survive.
True
Just like in plane crashes! They tell you to do this bracing position but it actually breaks your neck so you can die faster so people don't have to deal with much things
My dad always said that rules are made to be broken
iir as soon as tge ferry starred sinking they should have went to the deck

They were trying to calm the media
@@zackyvt1319 no dude they were trying to give themselves some clout.
They probably thought they would save the day with no casualties as they recorded. Probably thoughy they would be hailed as heroes afterwards :---(

The incompetence of the captain/crew and rescuers was astounding - they murdered those beautiful, trusting kids.
My heart goes out to the parents who have to constantly relive this horrendous experience in their memories. It makes it all the worst knowing that nothing was done in a everything could have been done to save these students/people.
How can people be so evil and mean! How can people devalue the life if another human!
My heart is so shattered. 😔
The calls recorded were very disgusting. How horrendous it is for them to assume that no one was left on the ship when there's still people fighting for their lives inside...
Or another disgusting likely, already dead.
This tragedy breaks my heart.
Yes it’s a wrong assumption but usually in this type of situation you would assume that the crew would tell everyone to get on the highest point of the ship, outside.
Yet the rescuers should’ve went in and looked instead of hovering around
@@JustMe-vs1kj Because civilian ships were evacuating people there was also no way to do a head count. Which should mean rescue continue until we are sure no one is left.
This is not just the captains fault but a failure as a country. All they cared about was publicity and cameras, no orders given and one rescue boat.
And the president was lounging in her bedroom. She didn’t think it was urgent. Clearly incompetent
.
that girl at the beginning talking about this being one of "those kinds of situations" sent chills down my spine. my heart is full of sorrow for the people who lost their children, siblings, friends, classmates, etc. incompetence can kill.
Did she lived ?
speaking of the parents and other relatives who lost this day, you can actually find their reactions on here. i did not let one whimper or cry go unheard when i heard some of their yelling identifying their children. [:
also, the divers who tried to rescue survivors..... seen an animation of what the bodies appeared like to them. that was a sight too.
"So no passenger is left in the ferry?"
"Yes, people escaped as the ship started to tilt. We didn't search the cabins but it seems most of them are out"
What the heck? for real?
It’s was like they lacked effort and didn’t give a crap. I’m so wholly disappointed
Yes "liars"....this breaks my heart so much😭😭😭😭
and the fact that they said that with over half of the passengers on board were still inside the ferry..
When the boats were pulling away if you looked carefully you saw a student banging on the window trying to break it 😢😢 and they ignored them
What second ??
I didn’t see
This is a phenomenal storytelling of the tragedy and an impressive piece of journalism
“is it a grave situation?” THE SHIP IS TILTING AND SINKING, OF COURSE ITS A GRAVE SITUATION. WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT

@@grylltheonion yes but given the information being relayed and by that time, the ship was already tilting, I would think that it is a grave situation, no?

@@grylltheonion precisely, so the question posed was ridiculous!
I still can't believe the Captain just rescued himself without putting the passengers first.
right i can’t remember what accident it was but a cruise boat tipped over and maybe less than 10 ppl died but the captain was sentenced to a couple years in prison for negligence because a captain is supposed to go down with their ship. they’re no supposed to leave

@@kierasherrod329 304 died
The most disturbing aspect of this tragedy was that it was completely avoidable. Almost everyone on that ferry could have been saved if it weren't for the cultural need to put public image ahead of peoples lives. Instead of staging a rescue, misleading the public and then attempting a cover up, the authorities could have actually organised a successful rescue and saved hundreds of lives.
@Brad Carman why did he do that?
@Brad Carman Was that the Captain's decision? I believe the owners of the ferry were very greedy and known for cutting corners. They hired the Captain on a temp basis.
Well said
I agree!
@Brad Carman what you described is an old Asian way called "saving face" maintain honor instead of owning up to disgrace!!!!
