Damn look how close that Korean coast guard vessel got to the listing ferry. That Captain has some balls.

This was also my thought, immediately when I read the thread title. If the Norks did have something to do with it, hopefully someone has the balls to do something this time. |

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

Also, article says it's off the south coast. It sunk a hell of a long ways from North Korea.

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.

NK subs and special forces go south all the time to screw with stuff..........I wouldnt rule them out

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. |

Note to self: Stay away from ships crewed by South Koreans and Greeks.
BTW, who manned that Italian cruise liner that hit ground? |

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 news on this thing has been insanely contradictory.
The number of passengers on the ferry changes every ten minutes, in a generally upward direction. |

A few article from English-language Korean newspapers: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20140417000863 http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20140418001117 http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20140418001063 http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2014/04/18/2014041800823.html |

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? |
