꽃이 진다고 그대를 잊은 적 없다_세월호 10주기
On April 16, 2014, the Sewol ferry sank off on its way to Jeju Island, South Korea.
The news shocked the whole nation. Initially, the media reported that all the passengers on board had been rescued. But it soon turned out to be false.
Of the 476 people on board, 304 were killed. Most of the victims were high school students on a school trip to Jeju. They were told to stay in their ship cabins for rescue. They followed orders, but eventually, the ship sank with them trapped inside.
Meanwhile, the captain and some crew members were evacuated while the ship was sinking.
This catastrophic tragedy has sparked widespread social and political upheaval in South Korea.
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the Sewol Ferry disaster. Rest in peace to all those who lost their lives in the disaster.
