Ko Chang-Suk was a teacher who put his students lives before his own. He was on the top deck as the ship started sinking and could’ve easily escaped but instead he ran down to where students were staying and started ushering most of them out, he even gave his own life jacket to a student who wasn’t wearing one.

Millions of people aren't using internet voting systems anymore as they are easier to rig and it's almost certain the gov is rigging them- what kind of democratic country has its people struggling to cast a real vote? go ask some other korean for more info (EDIT) let me fix that, DO NOT ask any Korean because the answer will differ greatly based on his or her political bias smh. note that the MJI supporters are sadly the majority of the population, and will say that he's doing fine and that it's the gov's fault for the ferry accident. Won't blame you for being confused because there are quite a few koreans saying that I'm wrong even on this thread- but I'm not lying. Seriously. Go search about it, he's being alienated by other countries because of this matter and recently got called a "pronorth communist, spy of North Korea" by countless governors including Gordon Chang. 2. Things you guys are trying to rebut has already been rebutted. Go reread past posts. 3. Go ask a Korean if you want more info, love how you think you're so mensa knowing everything but in reality you're literally accusing someone innocent of being a mass murderer. Don't know if i should laugh or shake my head. EDIT EDIT: bruh how in the world is this being politically biased? The fact that some koreans are gathering to say my posts are wrong I can't- Please go search into his matter, and to you korean folks who told me that I'm an embarrassment because I used political "slangs": THE ENTIRE MJI supporters called our past president a "Dalkeunhae" and threw abusive words at her.

The note that the mom wrote to her deceased son hit me the hardest.. I felt like I could really see her pain through the words she wrote and the grieving process she’s in.

I was living in Seoul at the time and remember dreading waking up to the news. Watching that death toll count go up was absolutely heartbreaking and the incompetence of the government was infuriating.

i'm tired of seeing comments like: "the kids should've ignored the captain and just escape" "many of them would have survived if they didn't listen to the captain" "i would've just jumped" it's easy to say that because you weren't there. i bet only very few of you would actually jumped. consider this: - they are high school students - they have no exact idea of what was happening, the current condition of the ship, how fast it's sinking, they only know that it's tilting badly - none of them have the proper knowledge on what to do in that situation - the sea is cold and the weather is quite bad - can't escape through windows because of the water pressure those factors are the reason why they listened to the captain. obviously, they thought the captain knew what's best and what they should do to increase the rate of survival. they thought the captain was doing something to rescue them but in reality, they were being abandoned. even if there were students who ignored the captain and jumped to the sea way earlier, it's unlikely they could've survived hypotermia. blame the selfish captain and the crew who abandoned them. blame the authorities that rejected the help offer from US and Japan who were nearby. blame the government who didn't send help immediately, the students were rescued by nearby fishermen and the divers were civilian volunteers. do not ever, "blame" the students for listening to the captain.

I agree completely. I was 25 on my first cruise/ferry and the boat is so huge that, depending on where you are, you have no idea what’s happening to the boat from the outside. I’m sure if the kids had a bird’s eye view of the ship, they’d have tried to escape sooner, but when you’re in one room of a huge vessel and told that rescuers are coming, it makes sense that the kids would wait for them, then try to escape once water hits their level (which would likely be too late to be able to navigate the boat while it’s already submerged in the darkness of the ocean). I’m sure lots of them made it to stairways or the larger open halls/rooms of the ferry but when the whole thing is sideways, how are they supposed to navigate? I could never put blame on the poor children for “not attempting to escape”. I’m positive they did but the reason why it seems like they didn’t try was because none of them survived their attempt.

We are bombarded with challenging the norms and doing stupid stuff. These are the things we did in before 9th grade: cut school, roamed mountains without parents, vandalism for fun, smoked cigs, drank alcohol, tried weed, egged houses, threw snowballs at cars, sneak out at night when staying over a friends house (and this is the stuff I remember). And we grew up in the suburbs of an East coast city and were in the top 20% of our class grade wise. In Korea, no one does this kind of stuff unless you are a troubled kid.

This accident is heartbreaking. The students could have been saved but the adults who just stood there watching them all just makes me mad. This accident will haunt me forever. Those poor families who lost their loved ones just to the selfishness of the captain is truly cruel. Hope all of the students that passed away in the tragedy rest in peace and god bless the parents of the kids who lost their children.❤

Do y'all remember the video of the girls surviving a few days in the sunken ship and even sending signals that they were alive but nobody rescued them? This was on purpose. They killed them and it is so heartbreaking and till this day it makes me furious. They took away their lives, their future.

People who survived accidents and disasters in which a lot of people died, very often feel pressure on their lives. This is usually a pressure they put on themselves. It 's a kind of sacrifice, a gift to those who have failed to survive. They treat it as an inner balance. Sometimes it drives madness, but sometimes it creates people who are amazing, who know their profession like specialists. I wish those who survived, never to lose their love of life.

What I know about this accident is that they were held by an order. "Do not move , the rescuers are coming" After 10 minutes no rescuers came. A student filmed everything. They were all joking and laughing around in the video. It's sad to see young lives joking about their death. They could have been adults now. Plus the fact that the person in charge of the rescue lied about the situation. He said that something about the situation being completely solved. That everyone was saved but in reality everyone is sitting their butts on that sinking ship. Parents hoped that their children were safe.. they thought everyone was alive. I can't forget the cries of the parents when they saw the bodies of their children. No one is immune to the cries. It's heart breaking. Many of the survivors of this tragedy didn't get the chance to live their lives normally. And one of the rescuers committed suicide after that accident. His family said that he always hear the cries of the children. They're screaming for help.

Students were alive in those air pockets waiting for help. I've seen some say they lived up to 5 days after it sank. One womans daughter had changed clothes and they had sent messages via Facebook saying they were still alive, please help. One students body, once retrieved you could tell the upper body had not been submerged. Like the student was standing in water inside an air pocket. The government wants you to think it's not true. It is! The guy with the diving bell who was willing to go down and rescue any people still alive and retrieve bodies was turned away and also had his hydraulic lines cut on his bell.

out of 325 students, only 75 survived, which means only a fifth of the juniors were still in the school

coming here after the Itaewon Tragedy it just shows that nothing changed in those years since. this time the possible crush was reported hours earlier yet the response was so late and not enough manpower sent to handle the situation. it cudve been prevented this time. now the govt is shifting ppl's anger towards celebs who are reported to be there when its their own structural failure having not responded to reports in time

I think every single one of the victims and their families should be royally compensated. It would not bring their loved ones back, but it would help the families they left behind and help the survivors continue to heal and lead better lives.

The crew probably thought to tell them to evacuate yet fear came over them as how the ship is so tilted and they just left.

They believed that they will be saved. They listened to captain and stayed inside of the cabins. They waited for instructions when no one was there to give them instructions and they didn't knew that. They asked if the teachers were okay. They joked there laugh there (for sometime) believing that they're gonna walk again on ground untill they experienced the water filling inside of the cabins, they're holding eachother tightly hugging eachother and crying and screaming, when they can't breathe anymore, they are remembering everything they left on home or left to do, remembering their loving ones suddenly when they can't hold their breath anymore and everything went black.

This is so heartbreaking i feel like breaking down.. Rest in peace to those beautiful souls that have passed away. 🙏 none of them deserved that, it’s so disgusting and selfish to know the captain left them and it took TWO hours for the ship to fully sink, ALL of them could’ve been saved. But no, the captain decided to be an utterly disgusting monster and leave them behind. He deserved all punishment given to him and i do not appreciate the fact theres some people even defending him..?? So disgusting. This was years ago, but it doesn’t change the fact that this was heartbreaking for not only me, but many others and their families. Those students deserved so much better and it breaks me to pieces that there was a 100% possibility that they could’ve been saved and could’ve had a good life by now. ☹️ i pray they are all resting peacefully up in heaven, watching their loved ones.

The captain abandoned the ship when he knew that help was on the way. The teachers told the students to stay in their rooms even when the ship was sinking, just so they themselves could receive help while the children were sinking. They were f*cking cowards that could've saved all those lives, but decided to be selfish and told them to stay there. The children drowned and died slowly and painfully, nails most likely scratching onto the surface of the ferry as they tried to stay alive. What's sad is that there are some videos of students that filmed it while it was going on. They more than likely knew they were going to die. One boy even said as a message to his sister "Don't go on long school trips, or else you'll die like me." And at the end, he actually did die.

Imagine being a survivor and then watching the people who are drowning, your friends or not from the news.

He let young, innocent children to die. The government can go in hell, they had help from USA and Japan, yet the said they had anything under control when they were probably having a good laugh when children were dying. God bless the volunteers who helped to safe the children and many other people on the boat. How many of them thought there were safe because the captain said everything thing is fine while he escaped but they were lied to and all the hope went away the minute they released this is worse than what they thought it was. Imagine all the trauma the ones who went through this and had to leave with that for the rest of their lives.
