More than 280 people - many of them children - are missing after a ferry capsized off the coast of South Korea. Sky's Alistair Bunkall reports.
新聞背景:
據(jù)韓國(guó)木浦海警廳透露,“歲月”號(hào)船長(zhǎng)李某在發(fā)出求救信號(hào)40分鐘后,不顧乘客安危首先逃走,這一行為引發(fā)諸多爭(zhēng)議。
據(jù)韓國(guó)中央日?qǐng)?bào)報(bào)道,傾覆客輪上船員29人,其中17人生存,占59%。學(xué)生乘客325人中僅75人獲救。代船長(zhǎng)李俊松(音譯)很早即離船。據(jù)被救學(xué)生說(shuō),沒(méi)有一個(gè)人看到船員給乘客發(fā)救生衣。已發(fā)現(xiàn)6具遺體,確認(rèn)有3名17歲學(xué)生和一名樸姓22歲船員,另兩名女性身份不明。
首爾市教育廳方面消息,市內(nèi)的所有小學(xué)、初中和高中涉及修學(xué)旅行等現(xiàn)場(chǎng)體驗(yàn)的學(xué)習(xí)活動(dòng)將接受有關(guān)部門(mén)的重新審核,如果發(fā)現(xiàn)存在安全隱患,修學(xué)旅行將被立刻取消。因此次事件的突發(fā)發(fā)生,韓國(guó)電影界紛紛推遲各種娛樂(lè)活動(dòng)表示關(guān)注。
“SEWOL號(hào)”客輪于1994年在日本建造,2012年10月在韓國(guó)正式通航,主要往返韓國(guó)仁川和濟(jì)州,總長(zhǎng)145米,型寬22米,可容納921名乘客,是目前韓國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)同類客輪中最大的一艘。客輪配備有餐廳、便利店、游戲廳等休閑娛樂(lè)設(shè)施。
Even before the helicopters were above it and the boats were alongside it, the ferry was sinking fast. Rescuers, they're the ones in the black wetsuits, were lowered on board from helicopters hovering dangerously low.
One by one, they were winched up and off the ship. Some passengers could only jump for their lives and into the water. A raft was thrown down to them, a diver followed. Others scrambled aboard boats from any opening as quickly as they possibly could. We were first told that 368 people had been rescued, that number was then corrected and then corrected again. In fact, far fewer people were rescued than first thought. The South Korean president was briefed on the disaster.
“I think it is truly tragic that the students who were going on a field trip and the passengers were involved in such an unfortunate accident.”
The uninjured which is the minority were herded, looking dazed, into a school gym.
“At the scene, my family is there, there is nobody, it's pitch black and dark and there's nothing going on. Looking at the situation, we should not be just sitting here.”
The relief for some was overwhelming. The lucky called home. The lost called out.
A lady on the right of this screen, her back to the camera, is pleading to some officials for information. She's left frustrated.
A flotilla of rescue boats watched warily just metres away as the boat sank, helpless really to do much at all. It took just two hours. Taking down with it, any number of passengers stuck inside.
