April 16, 2014 is a date South Koreans can never forget.
This was the exact day of the Sewol Ferry Tragedy.
Of the 476 passengers on board, 299 died and 5 are missing even till this day.
Six years have passed since the first wave of investigations,
but nobody knows the exact reason for the sinking or why the rescue operations were so delayed.
Amid re-investigations on the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, Korea Now met with Jang Ae-jin a survivor who hopes to fulfill the legacy of the deceased passengers.

What made me cried was when a girl said "let's meet after we survive" but she end up drowning.
This is so fucking sad. It's beyond words to describe what captain did. He is a monster. ?? And the fact that many of those victims leaved behind happy lives, I just turned 17 this year and It's so sad thinking that they were same age as me at that time.
This happen years ago and i just got notification on google i thought this happen 2 weeks ago
Sounds like they cared more about saving themselves and reporting the ship sinking for there insurance and also I reckon they delayed the rescue because they were scared to get sued if there was any survivors. They didnt want to risk there own lives saving the students, they told them to stay put while they escaped. The captain only cared for himself and his crew, he probably wanted them to die so no one could sue him, so sad
Ferry is sinking
Announcer: "Do not move from your current position and please wait"
Me: Miss me with that shit
Pls you guys never go in these types of places I'm requesting you all whoever you are wherever you are from you don't know it hurts man it hurts too much pls stay safe pls
?❤????
That letter shattered my heart? no parent should ever have to write a letter like that to their kid?
In which kind of society we live this kind of big incident happens n we r like ghost nothing to do in India I see alot of incidents but no one to talk. One part is good here south Koreans don't let it down n it shouldn't be down in sink rip to those innocent souls who have to live before even starts of actual living we'll never let y'all forget u n always in our memories
This remember BTS spring day ??
That's why spring day song is so meaningful ?
I have heard in one clip when one boy said when this was happening said "why am l on this trip, l have dreams l want to survive" this totally breaks my hearts hope this angels rest in peace????
Imagine how traumatised the survivors
How fucking scum to leave the kids and grown ups in that damn fucking boat
People commenting here saying that "they would have thought logically and jumped out of the ship without listening to the captain" are the same people who will get overwhelmed by fear and do more harm the moment they face an actual situation.
Pray for them please
Everyone might be saying they should rescued this way and that, but remember guys we have learnt all the time to listen to the captain and the instructor no matter where we are going.
The captain should've been the last off the boat, but instead he wasn't trained on what to do in this situation and others paid the price. Why would he say stay in below deck in a sinking ship, unless he wanted to make sure the rescue boats aren't over ran and he couldn't make it.
I am not even Korean but I feel so bad about the girl who had to go through it all and I hope that such national disasters would never happen.
Love from India ??
Until now, I cannot believe how light is the sentence with the other crew.
And of all modern maritime disasters I have read through my stidues, this is the worst. Why? Because a lot of life can be saved. This is not a collision between ships or caused by a fortuitous event but PURE NEGLIGENCE.
اوووه يا لطيف شئ يحزن??
the captain is wrong and just selfish. all of them could’ve been saved but instead the captain decided to tell the children to stay there and go escape. smh such a selfish person.
I broke at the cards wrote to the victims at the end.
government fucked up
It’s been a year since this video and 7 years since the tragedy but nothing changed, and the fact that nothing changed says a lot ???????
The algorithm made me find this incident….THIS IS SO SAD?
It's so incomprehensible how they remained in the cabin despite it filling up with water and getting dark. At what point does survival mode kick in? They were obedient to a fault. Very tragic.
It is very clear that they deliberately killed the kids and its super heartbreaking to know that they lied to the kids like that
So the captain told them to stay put while he escaped and saved himself??? That is some bs right there.
My condolences to their families and may their souls rip?
I want to praise this girl for being so strong and talking about this.
And to the commenters who are saying some insensitive things, please see this with empathy and kindness. Not everything requires your "logical" opinion or what you personally would've done to avoid this.
Please.
?️?️?️
gosh this is so frustrating…knowing that they could've been saved…knowing that there was enough time
