Hundreds Missing After Ferry Sinks
More than 280 people - many of them children - are missing after a ferry capsized off the coast of South Korea. Sky's Alistair Bunkall reports.

新闻背景:
据韩国木浦海警厅透露,“岁月”号船长李某在发出求救信号40分钟后,不顾乘客安危首先逃走,这一行为引发诸多争议。
据韩国中央日报报道,倾覆客轮上船员29人,其中17人生存,占59%。学生乘客325人中仅75人获救。代船长李俊松(音译)很早即离船。据被救学生说,没有一个人看到船员给乘客发救生衣。已发现6具遗体,确认有3名17岁学生和一名朴姓22岁船员,另两名女性身份不明。
首尔市教育厅方面消息,市内的所有小学、初中和高中涉及修学旅行等现场体验的学习活动将接受有关部门的重新审核,如果发现存在安全隐患,修学旅行将被立刻取消。因此次事件的突发发生,韩国电影界纷纷推迟各种娱乐活动表示关注。
“SEWOL号”客轮于1994年在日本建造,2012年10月在韩国正式通航,主要往返韩国仁川和济州,总长145米,型宽22米,可容纳921名乘客,是目前韩国国内同类客轮中最大的一艘。客轮配备有餐厅、便利店、游戏厅等休闲娱乐设施。

Even before the helicopters were above it and the boats were alongside it, the ferry was sinking fast. Rescuers, they're the ones in the black wetsuits, were lowered on board from helicopters hovering dangerously low.
One by one, they were winched up and off the ship. Some passengers could only jump for their lives and into the water. A raft was thrown down to them, a diver followed. Others scrambled aboard boats from any opening as quickly as they possibly could. We were first told that 368 people had been rescued, that number was then corrected and then corrected again. In fact, far fewer people were rescued than first thought. The South Korean president was briefed on the disaster.
“I think it is truly tragic that the students who were going on a field trip and the passengers were involved in such an unfortunate accident.”
The uninjured which is the minority were herded, looking dazed, into a school gym.
“At the scene, my family is there, there is nobody, it's pitch black and dark and there's nothing going on. Looking at the situation, we should not be just sitting here.”
The relief for some was overwhelming. The lucky called home. The lost called out.
A lady on the right of this screen, her back to the camera, is pleading to some officials for information. She's left frustrated.
A flotilla of rescue boats watched warily just metres away as the boat sank, helpless really to do much at all. It took just two hours. Taking down with it, any number of passengers stuck inside.
