Yes Cold Water

better than Death in a Cabin.

The Capt is Guilty of neglect

58 Dead as of now
240 MISSING

Yes you would be Alive

..but if there had been air pockets and some had been saved but the ones in the water had been drowned or died of hypothermia, then everyone would have been hailing him a hero for his actions/I just don't think you can judge this and he will stand trial anyway/let the courts judge him...

The courts will Judge that Criminal Capt.

- The Korean Entertainment Industry came to a halt, with programs focusing on the disaster.

- On April 18, the rescue team successfully entered the ferry. However, there were several mistakes when identifying the wrong bodies and parents were forced to believe that they were wrong even when parents claimed they knew it wasn't their son/daughter and DNA tests proved otherwise.

Ferry completely submerged.

- The underwater search was paused.

- The vice principle of Danwon High School committed suicide. It was his idea to take the students on the trip and he took full responsibility for the accident. He was often heard talking about his guilt after escaping the ferry. He eventually commit suicide, leaving a will that said: "I don't have the will to live when we do not know whether 200 lives are still alive or dead. Let me take full responsibility for everything. I was the one who suggested the school trip. Cremate my body and spread it near the sinking. Should I be their teacher for the lives that were claimed in the afterlife..."

- The captain admitted to telling everyone on board to stay where they were before getting off himself. When asked if he felt wrongly accused, he said, "I do not feel that I'm being wrongly or unfairly accused".

A group message between students saying "everyone let's meet alive". Only 5 people out of 39 read the message.

- On April 19, rescue efforts continued however "no signs of anyone alive inside the ferry" was concluded. Corpses have started to be collected from inside the ferry.

- The death toll has rose to 36.

- The captain has been arrested for charges including negligence of duty and violation of maritime law. He saved himself and left the passengers. He could face life imprisonment.

The Capt is Guilty Of Murder

Sign Of The Times

..yeah but if there had been air pockets in the cabin and some had survived, he would have been hailed a hero though for doing the exact same thing, it's just one of those panic situations where you don't know how you'll react or what the outcome of those actions will be, he has to live with what happened and those children's deaths which will be far worse than anything else that will happen to him...

Wrong
as they go as it went right under - they went,
The Divers can see from the outside
Floating Dead inside the cabins
from windows outside

Stop sticking up for that Capt.

..I'm not sticking up for him at all, but it was an extremely emotional and panic situation and none of us know how we'd react no matter what we might think we would do or what the right thing to do was, so it's wrong to sit comfortably and judge him, he's pretty much 'dead' himself as well now anyway with what he is now living with..and I very much doubt that when he asked them to stay in the cabins he intended for them to die so he must have thought for some reason that he was doing the right thing...
