▲ The Situation When The Cruise Ship Sank

According to South Korea Foreign Ministry on Thursday morning (Korean time), a cruise ship "Hableany" with 35 people aboard, including 33 Korean tourists who used A Good Travel Agency, sank in Budapest, Danube River in Hungary.

Most of the passengers in the cruise were East Asian travelers assumed to be mostly South Koreans, according to foreign media. A total of 35 people were aboard in the sunken cruise ship, including 33 tourists and two crew members. Also, according to A Good Travel Agency, 31 people, including the leader, were aboard the cruise, and Koreans aboard the cruise were traveling to Hungary with a package of "Balkan and Six Countries in East Europe".

During the accident's time, it was raining heavily for a long time, so the river had a very high water level and strong currents. Plus, there were no life vests on the cruise, so it seemed to connect to a big accident.

At first, seven were rescued, seven were found dead, and 19 were missing. As time goes by, some missing passengers were found dead.

Since that day, many people in the world including all Korean people are still wishing that all missing people will be found safely. Also, people have big anger towards the cruise ship's captain especially when he said that the action of the cruise is different from the situation at that time.
