No, but did the North Koreans have a part in sinking it?

Are Nork torpedoes really shitty? I'd think one would wreak a hell of a lot of havoc on a civilian ferry.

A government official earlier said that more than 100 people were still unaccounted for Wednesday, but officials later changed the number to 295.

Unless it was a sea mine. They were traveling to Jeju off the southern coast, it's a popular tourist area.

Boat hull still exposed at surface.  Massive rescue operation underway.  






Kids were told to stay put for almost an hour... enough for every single one to jump off, before it listed over.

Reports are that the captain was in one of the 1st lifeboats to leave, a la Costa Concordia.

As per CNN, ship is now completely submerged.

Approx. 270 people still missing.

US Navy helicopters are assisting RoK naval units.

Science guy on CNN is saying there may be survivors in air pockets, they mentioned that Nigerian guy who was rescued after 60 hrs. trapped in a sunken ship.

At what angle of list does deploying life rafts become impossible?   Obviously it may be a function of the life raft system and which side it is on.

I am curious about the list angle as a function of time.

The number of passengers on the ferry changes every ten minutes, in a generally upward direction.

Was listing presumably on the bottom, now its capsized.
I'd be beating on the hull. They say cold water, not looking good.
Someone said maybe they took too sharp a turn?

Ferry was a RoPax.

They had some naval guy on CNN saying that because the car deck is at or near the waterline, once water gets in ships like this one sink very quickly.

They mention the Herald of Free Enterprise, also a car ferry, which sank in less than 5 min.:
