BBC News:
A ferry with about 450 people on board is sinking off the south-west coast of South Korea, coastguard officials say.
Most of the passengers are secondary school students on their way from Incheon to the southern resort island of Jeju, officials added.
Coastguard and naval vessels and helicopters have gone to the scene.
Many passengers have already been lifted off and TV reports say remaining passengers have been told to jump into the sea to await rescue.
Images from the scene show the ferry listing at a severe angle.

On CNN a reporter said the kids can live 1 hour in the water, as it is not warm.
A cruise ship and ferry are not the same thing. Was this ferry rented as a party boat?
So tragic. Perhaps the Norks had something to do with this “accident.” Or whoever “disappeared” MH370.
Prayers for the passengers and their families.
