Students of Danwon High School in the Sewol Ferry Disaster
On April 16th, 2014, the Sewol Ferry sank off the coast of South Korea while en route to Jeju Island.
When the ship listed, an automatic message played telling passengers to go inside and stay put. The captain was the first to escape. An evacuation order was never given, and the only survivors were the ones to disobey the message.
The ferry carried 476 passengers, out of which 325 were 11th grade students from Danwon High School. 304 people died, 250 of which were students.
