I will never forget the video showing the captain being helped to leave in civilian clothes while the window on the left showed students pounding on it to try to break it to escape. They drowned. So sad.

The Sewol still sits underwater and the people and companies that overloaded it still have not taken any responsibility for their actions. Instead the Gov prepares for these saddened people to possibly become violent. The Sewol was a very good service ferry for Japan for many years then bought by Korea, restructured, "recertified" and pressed into use until its' fateful disaster (end).

The captain should be hanged, high and dry. He is the main culprit of such a huge loss of life, and the way he sneaked from the ship, leaving hundreds helpless people behind, is the utmost gisgrace.

He was wearing nothing but underpants

A good reason Japan and Korea are vastly different cultures.

Wow, what an appropriate comment on a tragedy.............that being said, now let's talk about the culture of purposely mislabeling food products from Fukushima, or dumping radioactive waste in the sea, or Takata airbags.
