Passengers texted from ferry as it was sinking 

The words "stay still" caused so many deaths.

"Mom, just in case I dont have the chance to say it, I love you" that broke my heart 💔 I feel sorry for the parents' loss 🙁

When a boat is sinking don’t listen to your teacher just get the hell out of there and escape

do yall know that the titanic captain rescued many people and sacrificed his life for them.. but this man was the first to leave the ferry.

my heart breaks for that little 6 year old who lost her whole family and has to live her whole life without them... and at 6 years old thats old enough to remember them and to remember the situation... shed be 12 now, i wonder how shes doing

The students were my age now, that just breaks my heart

the kids would have been in uni by now working for their dreams... but now they are in a better place RIP to all the young souls that were lost . Never forget 416

This is honestly so sad and so disgusting!!! The captain from Titanic sank with the ship, but this captain was a coward and left with his crew!!! Many of these people wouldn't have been dead if the captain wasn't selfish. I saw how all the students felt when they were inside. They were saying goodbye and were scared to death. Is the captain even in jail for what he did? I'm so mad right now...

That 6 year old girl just lost her family, why

just by looking at the boat makes me want to cry because of the other teenagers in that ship trapped inside the ship sinking just by wondering their reaction trying to escape the water

if only they didnt listen to the announcement , more people could survive... 😞

0:57 really Broke my heart. "Mom, just in case I don't have the chance to say it, I love you" and that's when my tears can't stop falling down. It's just reminded me I never told my grandma that I love her before her last breath due to some stupid embarrassing. It's so hurt and sad at the same time. May everyone who gone be in peace and have better life in their next life.

That 6 yrs old Little girl who was saved. Her dad, mom and older brother was left in the ferry. I saw a video about her, she is now living with her aunt and uncle and she was bullied by her classmates because she doesn’t have a mom nor a dad. It was a long a time ago when i watched the video but i believe she changed her name because of what happened. Its really devastating losing both parents and a sibling. Today, that little girl must be 11 or 12 and i hope she’s doing fine now and have moved on with this. ❤️🙏

“Rules are meant to be broken” sometimes breaking the rules is a good thing

Whats even more said is the 6 year old girl only survived because her brother who was a year older than her gave her his life jacket 🥺

it hurts me, I'm crying

Remember , when your life is in danger , only listen to two people, yourself and your parents if they are around you. Don't listen to strangers or even friends or captains

"Do as you are told" I bet he'll regret that for the rest of his life

I remember our 2nd-grade teacher telling us this story..it was so sad. I am in 6th grade heading to 7th now, realizing this was the story she was telling.

I hate the "stay still" word

I used to read a comment from a Korean. He said: after 1 day when The ferry sank, most of student were still Alived. The students tried to message to their family to help them out. I cant imagine that Atmosphere they have suffered, around them all dark, scream, water and cold. Disgusting. R. I. P all angles Love from Vietnam 🇻🇳

Some of them stayed alive in the sewol ferry for two days their parents said that they received messages even after two days from announcing the sewol started sinking it was heartbreaking because I watched the diving bell documentary there was volunteers who wanted to dive in and check if there was any alive students there and there was a high possibility that there might be alive ones coz the air was trapped in the boat and in the inside it was nt completely overwhelmed by water Rip sewol ferry students it was such a sad accident

i just graduated from college then youtube just recommended me a lot of videos of sewol .

"mom, just in case I don't have onather chance to say it, I love you". 😭😭😭. This made me cry a lot.

I can feel the anxiousness seeing your friends being rescued and just being there and wanting to be one of them. Rest in peace 🕊️

Why do i love to make myself cry

The fact one man saved over 20 people is amazing.

This makes me so angry that they didn’t care about anyone but themselves those poor children listening to the adults ended up dead, it breaks my heart , Thankyou soo much to those who helped rescue victims, I hope those who died are at peace my love goes out to all the families who lost someone in this incident ❤️❤️

The captain should be the last one off the ship in any situation. He’s responsible for every single passenger.

The fact they all helped each other is the only thing that makes me happy

RIP I'm not Korean but I can feel what they feel there

"I love you, mom." was too painful 😭

everyone else should’ve done the same as the boy who just jumped into the water... it breaks my heart😥💔 if they didn’t tell them to fk stay and not move bc it’s dangerous but told them to jump instead, many would’ve been alive rn...

And the fact that those people who followed the instructions died and those people who not lived. RIP ANGELS

In case.... I love you 😭😭😭😭😭 It hurts my heart 😭😭

The rescuers are the real hero.

I know its been 6yrs but while watching this it makes me cry so much

"Mom, just in case I don't have a chance to say it, I love you." The first time I read that message it broke my heart

Somebody make every captain watch 'Neerja' so that if they ever come across a situation like this they don't act dumb!

In the app that they originally used to text, the tiny 1 next to the message means it hasnt been read. Seeing so much 1s next to the desperate texts that their parents sent was just chilling

“Mom, just incase I don’t have the chance to say it, I love you.”

Salute to that 58 years old man 🤍🙏 Nakapag rescue sya Ng 20 Students sa sarili lang nyang sikap .

Everybody understands the fustration of the parents who lost their sons and daughters, spent years with them and then just loosing them. Instead the captain just said "sorry" after killing hundreds.

Moral of the story : always get the Fuck out of sinking ships without listening to selfish cowardly crews

The ferry should have never even left the shore. Like the titanic it was reported to not have enough lifeboats for all of its passengers. And all the members of the crew on board should be ashamed of themselves saving there lives even though there was enough time to rescue other passengers. The government also was completely messed up the US marines were also in the area willing to help with the search and rescue of the passengers but the government had refused them. Than it was left as a cold case for like 4-5 years until they brought the ship back up. All the volunteering divers that aided in the rescue were told that they had to stop diving for the passengers that might have still been onboard the sunken ship. Seriously this sort of tragedy should have been handled much better than it was.

So many people in the comments don't even realize it was an inside job. The whole thing was planned. The ship was already over weight before they put passengers on it. Also, the captain and it's crew were just puppets. They were instructed not to save them because they were a sacrifice. Even during the chatter on the comms that day between a crewman and the civilian rescuers...they told them that the cabin was empty already. And the rescuer asked him if he was sure and he said,"yes, yes.". They never intended to save them. The government even denied rescue efforts from the U.S. and Japan. Even though they were right there and willing to assist. Park Guen-hye was the president at the time and she was close with Choi Soon-sil, whose father was the leader of a shamanistic cult. He had influence over both of them. His name was Choi Tae-min. Feel free to look those names up and see for yourself. Park didn't even respond until after it happened and later on the news said they were a "noble sacrifice". All their government was instructed to do was to send a helicopter to film the thing. You can find the video on youtube with comms from the rescuers. They were all cult members and Tae-min was considered to be like a Rasputin. The captain and crew weren't really responsible, they were simply puppets. I know it sounds crazy and I'm usually not one for conspiracy theories...but to me this one is believable. Everything seems to point at it being an inside job, influenced by cultish government officials. Park thought it would bring Tae-min back, since he basically claimed to be a God. That sacrificing a bunch of people would bring him back. Go ahead and believe the official story if you want but I've already seen and heard enough about it to know that shit doesn't add up. And now Park and Soon-sil are in prison. Part of it having to do with the discovered influence from Tae-min. There are articles and videos on here that support that theory. Saving them was 100% possible. The only people to respond to the scene were civilians, which they can't really stop. But they did stop professionals from trying to rescue them and the navies of Japan and the U.S.. Also, very rarely does this ever happen where a captain and it's crew leave the ship first without really helping it's passengers first. You'd be hard pressed to find another incident like that in history at all. They knew good and well how many people were on the ship...and they left them and denied to the rescuers that there wasn't even anybody left in the cabins...when there were hundreds in there. If that doesn't leave you scratching your head, I don't know what will. This shit has inside job written all over it. A shame that more people don't realize it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zfEk8rYQtEo.html

It’s a miracle that 6 year old little girl lived. I hope she; and the rest of the survivors; are doing ok.

For god's sake!!! Most of the students were my current age... 18!!! I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my best friends like that. Cause I think drowning is one of the worst deaths.You know what's happening and you can't escape!!! I pray for them to rest in peace wherever they are now!!! And my deepest condolences to the victims families!!🙏😞

Same thing happened in the Twin Towers collapse. They were told to stay at their desks. Even the ones near the exit were blocked by security and told to go back inside.

It must be killing two students inside that they cannot see the family ever again and the fact that they still had the courage and had their hopes high kills me inside,😢may God bless your family with strength😢 there are no better place as stars now. They will always be remembered

Don't people disgust you sometimes cause me too.

I know that students should follow rules in order to live but during this kind of situation id better break the rules and get the hell out of there

I feel so pity for the 6 years old girl who lost her family, I hope everyone who were servived there is doing so well and I hope they have get the hell out of this trauma...

I can't describe how much i hate this captain, I started crying when i saw the last clips from the students, if he wasn't so selfish everybody could been alive now And I feel so sorry for the little girl who lost her family :(

This is way more worse than Titanic. Atleast in titanic the captain stayed in the ship & they were grown-ups! These were school kids and their captain left them.

Imagine sinking with your family not knowing your 4 year old daughter got out on her own and survived, while everyone else in your family died. Terribly tragic

I didn’t Know about this sewol ferry. When i watched the theory of Spring Day MV I literally started to cry.RIP those who died

Don’t stay inside burning house, Don’t stay inside sinking ship.

THE FACT THAT THE *JAPANESE NAVY* AND *US NAVY* WANTED TO HELP but SOUTH KOREA'S GOVERNMENT REFUSES BECAUSE OF THE PRIDE ISSUE

10 years passed and I am still hurting for the parents. God bless them. I know parents who never recovered from losing their child.

Tbh this tragedy is a perfect example of don’t do something just because a whole bunch of people are doing it,follow ur instinct or something like that😿

This is heartbreaking

The captain of this ship should be called CRIMINAL! imagine saying stay in the ship to save your lives and you being rescued while the students are doing everything so they all could survive you know? The captain of the Titanic saved a lot of lives and he even went down with his ship as a tradition my heart still aches 😢🎗️

still breaks my heart. RIP to all victims, you will not be forgotten!

My tears won't stop falling as I watch this report 6 years after

I pray for strength for all the families affected by this tragedy. so many wishes. these innocent babies never deserved this.

I suddenly cried reading the texts messages :(( Fly high angels

I found about this incidence last day... I can't stop thinking about these innocent kids! If it can effect a stranger so much, imagine what the parents must be feeling. I cannot imagine such positive, intelligent, beautiful young people had to meet such an unfortunate death... What a shame! 💔

Rest in peace. Sleep tight, much love for the victims from Italy

That 6 year old should be my age by now, I wonder how she's doing...

Literal tears seeing those messages, cant imagine what their families went through

So heartbreaking 😫😫

There’s a little video of a victim with his mom it started off when he was young then slowly turned into a handsome boy his name is Kim Donghyun I really hope he made it and the other students to I feel so sad that there’s a bunch of families missing their son and daughters 😭❤️

When a ship is sinking or a plane is crashing the pilot will ALWAYS be the last to leave and not the first

This is literally hurting my head right now i couldn't help but cry...they must have been so teriffied to death.

Obedient to a fault. Man I wish the students could have had a leader to advise them to get off the ferry

This still break my heart ㅠㅠ

This news and the covid 19 makes me depressed Rest In Peace to all the loss lives

The crew sealed their deaths when told to say put. Once they did tell them to abandon it was too late as the ships stairways and hallways were impossible to get out because it was too far tilted. A maritime expert said if they tried to abandon ship when the crew did there would have been a lot more survivors even if they were in the water waiting for fishing boats to pick them up. The crew announced for them to say put and seconds later they left the ship. Cowards!!!

Omg I can't even watch this it's to tragic for me becuse my brother's birthday is on the day and I just don't want to celebrate but just cry for them angles RIP 😭💜💜💜

I cant even begin to say how sorry I am my heart hurts.

My korean husband told me about this tragedy when we met and i couldnt stop crying because of how horrific it sounded and seeing all the old reports, images, interviews,.... breaks my heart even more.

I just hate that captain How can he do this to the innocent souls I am so heartbroken May rest in peace for poor souls

I feel so bad for the people who lost their loved ones

Legit, in that one kid that would have been telling people we need to get out. If the ship is sinking, get somewhere where you wont be trapped... some of these kids telling each other to put on live vests... trying to keep each other calm... they had most sense then the captain and crew.

So tragic and sad 💔

The captain just had to tell the children to get outside. Just once. They could have survived.

ALL THIS TEXT MAKE ME CRY TO DEEP OF MY HEART FXXXXX

Im literally crying😢😭

We can learn from this. Go outside as soon as we can !

we will always remember 🎗💛

Me and that 6 year old are literally the same age now. It hurts.

This was murder. Telling people to stay below deck when the ship is sinking, yeah sure.

I can tell that the captain and other crews are having a trauma about this incident

That 6 year old.. It's so devastating. There are videos that the students took in their rooms, and I'm pretty sure the little kid in one of them was her, since there was no parent and a female student was talking to her. It is so sad..

Obedience is detrimental

They trusted the authorities to much. Poor souls :(. We lost so many dreams.

Obedient to a fault. Always try to save yourself if you can.

i can’t believe some families feel guilt because they said just follow directions and stay safe….while in the end students were told to stay in one place and do not move until told so. they failed at saving those students lives

My heart breaks to hear this😭😭, I just came to know this because of IU's recent post.
