South Korean Ferry Sinks

This blog is just to show how sorry i am towards all of the students (17 years old),teachers and staff who were on board of the ferry that was going from Incheon to Jeju island. At around 9 am (Korean time) on Wednesday 16th April 2014, the ferry set off flares into the sky (distress signals) after the ferry turned a sharp right and started to tilt onto it's side. Earlier today they managed to save only 75 out of the 325 students on board. One witness says that two young girls were trapped under a vending machine. Below are a couple of articles and videos about the sinking. You may find them a little disturbing so only watch on your own accord. 

I would just like to expression how sad this situation must be for everyone, especially for the mothers and fathers who have not yet heard of their child(ren)s safety. I think this is an unfortunate situation which should be acknowledge by everyone. Thankyou for taking the time to read the articles, watch the video, and sympathise for those who have been lost in this dreadful event.
