Have you heard of the terrible Sewol accident? This incident gave the Republic of Korea a great deal of confusion. Besides, on this occasion, lots of people think our governmnet is trash. Now, I will introduce this terrible Sewol accident. Also, I will show you the process of being lifted up.

     This terrible Sewol incident happended at 8 a.m. on April 16, 2014, in Haesang, Joo-myeon, Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. The Sewol ferry was a passenger ship accommodating 476 passengers of the unit in Ansan City High School, which was a primary member of the school. March 18, 2014, the Sewol sank completely, killing 304 people, including nine dead bodies. More than half of the 172 survivors were rescued by private vessels, including a fishing boat arriving about 40 minutes later than maritime police officers. It was reported that a total of 150 vehicles were loaded with 150 cars and freight amounting to 1157 tons, but 180 cars were loaded after the accident. There are many hypotheses that it sank like this. So, after this terrible accident, our people said that our government is rubbish.

     Postponed lifting for three years and the 18th president, Park Guen-hye, dismissed it on March 10, 2017, and twelve days later, it started lifting from 22 of March 2017. It is expected that the date of the March issue will be decided according to the weather situation after the March 22 issue of the lunar calendar. The lifting order is as follow. The first is installing a rectangular fence. The second is airbag installation. The third is installing sea crane connection. The forth is ship salvage, and the last is overland transportatation. Many events have succeeded in reaching out to the land at 5:30 p.m on April. Finally, the final istallation of the ship will be finished at 10 p.m.

     In conclusion, there are nine bodies that have not yet been found. Therefore, many people and families who have not found a body are eager to find bodies inside the vessel. Those who read this article should be honored for the memorial Sewol ferry. Also, I hope you will not forget the dead ones. Let me say this one last word. Sewol Ferry should be forever in our mind.
