Turning now to the ongoing investigation of the remains of the tragic Sewol ferry… The cargo bay and cabins were disclosed to the public two weeks after the hull of Sewol ferry was set straight up. An inspection committee plans to resume the search for the missing and investigate the cause of accident after completing safety reinforcements. Here's a glimpse inside the vessel.

The Sewol ferry's severely corroded portside stands exposed. When KBS reporters stepped inside the cargo bay on the second floor, they were overwhelmed with the stink of gasoline and mud. A climb up the stairs covered by barnacles leads into the kitchen and the lobby where passengers spent a lot of their time. Cabins for male students are located one story up, on the fourth deck, where Park Young-in and Nam Hyeon-cheol, two still missing students, were last seen. The plywood walls put up during the renovation were gone without a trace and the bathroom is filled with mud. A broken suitcase bears witness to the harrowing day four years ago.
[Soundbite] Oh Seung-rae (Inspector, Hull Investigation Committee) : "The suitcase inside the room is stuck between the plates, so we plan to continue our search after cutting them open."
Investigators walk up to the ship's head on the third deck to find partial damage to the right anchor. The underside of the ship's head also suffered damage in various places. The hull inspection committee plans to investigate the steering equipment and ballast water level in the engine room and the steering house which are still closed due to safety reasons. Meanwhile, the search for the still missing passengers will begin in July.

I couldn't stomach walking through a ship where I know hundreds of kids died, I couldn't take it, that's to heartbreaking to be standing in the same place someone took their last breathe in.

2020 and this still hurts, Rest in Peace to all of the Beautiful Souls

I can't trust any of whatever they are reporting/ disclosing anymore tbh
-
I wonder if they found any human remains from those sealed corridors and passenger compartments, where that one video was also filmed just as the ship was sinking. Rest in peace those who went down with the ship.

Everytime I watch some of the videos about the Sewol tragedy, my heart just couldn't bear it. I'm a student and I know those students just want to have fun in their excursion. Those individuals have different dreams that they wanna achieve but because of negligence they can't anymore. I pray for their souls and may them rest in peace. 💔

the floor they’re stepping on the floors the students was last seen on. the floors the students sat on, stood on, and walked on. the floors the students were sitting on in the recordings released online, but there’s something missing from the ferry. someone the parents would give anything to see again. the students, their kids.

-

I just stambled this Sewol Incident last night and until now I haven't got any sleep and thinking about the feelings of students and parents of the tragedy. I even saw their last video saying that "Don't worry we're gonna live, I'll see you then" "If I die, who's gonna take care of my sister? Omma, appa, i love you both so much". It was traumatizing for me, how much more for the parents.

Watching this make me upset again....my young friend from that highschool who lost her life on this tragedy still remains as a nightmare to me..... Her brother fall into depression and they just lost the father a year before.....and lost the precious daughter the very next year in this tragedy...... If not for her mother who strong enough to hold the family pillar, i'm not sure if her little brother can survive the depression...... Sleep well my little Yoon, i'll look after your brother so get a good rest with other angels who lost their life in this tragedy......i hope that damn captain can rot in hell and haunted by those victim'ss scream of pain....i curse you, that damn captain!!!

My online friend's sister died in this tragedy.... I used to talk to her sometimes.... Its just so heartbreaking
-
Those students tried their best to keep themselves calm and less frightened by smiling and laughing with each other. I can't imagine what they've gone through last minute of boat sinking. I can't stop crying :((
-
It still hurts to know how much the kids trusted the captain and the rescuers. Cowards.
-
so desprate to find the missing when in fact they wasted their time watching the ferry sink in the first place.
-
Came here after Itaewon crowd crush incident. So many young lives were lost in two most tragic and heartbreaking incidents. My heart goes out to the families who lost their loved ones. May all the souls rest in peace 🤍
-
The fact it took them that long is despicable. Barely any effort was made to bring justice to the victims and families by those who caused it and by those who were meant to try to save them. So much neglect.
-
I feel so bad for them they couldn't achieve all their dreams
-
The fact some mother said her daughter was posting in facebook says after the sinking asking for help and videos of kids slowly dying in recovered phones shows they didn't rush they took their tim to try and sabotage any help while waiting for those precious souls to sadly die just imagine your there fighting waiting for help as they said it would come ending up seeing your classmates bodies floating in water while after days you see no help and think "I'm gonna die" because a selfish person wanted to end help just kills my head

every time i hear about the sewol ferry tragedy i just burst out crying. it’s so upsetting that so many young, beautiful lives were lost when they could have easily been saved. what’s worse is all those videos of people saying “i really don’t want to die” and “let’s meet up when we survive”. knowing that they never did survive and unfortunately passed away hurts me so darn much, and I’m sure it hurts the families even more. my heart goes out to victims and families of this tragic disaster. i couldn’t think of any worse way to pass. Rest In Peace to all the beautiful boys and girls on board. 💔💔
