Search extended for bodies of 5 missing from Sewol-ho ferry sinking
  • 6 years ago
The government has decided to extend the search for the five victims of the Sewol-ho Ferry sinking... whose bodies are still missing four years after the tragedy.
The oceans ministry said Sunday that its probe team will devote two more weeks to looking for remains from the Sewol-ho... and conclude their three-month search by the first week of September.
Certain areas of the boat have been inaccessible because it's lying on its side... until it was turned upright earlier this year.
Investigators plan to search those spaces, clear out the mud,... and look for the bodies of the five missing passengers.
The 68-hundred ton ferry sank in 2014,... killing three-hundred-and-four people, most of whom were high school students.
