It has just been reported that a Korean cruise ship with 450 aboard has sunk. Only 190 are reported to have been saved- many high schoolers aboard.
Oh please God, let this be true. Seju is resort island...a place to go FOR FUN! These are people looking for an escape. Please... let them survive!
**many high schoolers aboard.**
Prayers for their families.
Jejudo is the “tropical” part of Korea and a very popular vacation / tourist spot. A lot of K-Dramas and movies get filmed there as well, so folks like to go see the spots where the filming took place.
Its very common for students to take an annual trip as a group. Spring break without the drinking or promiscuity.
Bump
Yes i lived in sk for 3 years. Havent made it there unfortunately.
Prayers needed...Korean Cruise ship is sinking...lots of teens.

I join in earnest prayer for them!
My wife has been to Jejudo a couple of times—she loves K-dramas and Korea in general. She goes with her fellow K-drama friends. My only time in Korea was on a one day layover waiting for a flight to Japan, so didn’t really see anything. And it was in the old days before democracy when the military still ran things, so back then it had kind of an oppressive feel with a lot of heavily armed policemen around. It’s totally different today.
Oh God ,Prayers for all.
How awful! Prayers for those souls and for their grieving families!
Thank you Rockitz so we can pray.
If,by chance,they *are* responsible I doubt that they'd openly admit it.But they'd probably drop hints through diplomatic channels.
BTW...love your profile page.I particularly like that sign that gives the town's fly population.It reminded me of my visit to Broken Hill,where I learned to do the "Aussie Salute".

“The ferry is almost completely submerged.” One dead, hundreds rescued as ferry sinks off South
You should check out the pics of the ferry looks terrible, prayers for everyone on board
I think it might have been a high school prank where everyone run to one side to see if they can get the boat to tilt like Guam.
If so, they’d be best off with an island in spite of our genius congress critters.
And thank God and Reverend Flynn for the Flying Doctor.
By the way, another bit of somewhat amusing Aussie trivia - on the picture next to the one with the fly population, you'll see a road sign for the Stuart Highway. The Stuart Highway has one of its ends at Port Augusta, a bit north of Adelaide, South Australia. There's also a Sturt Highway, that goes east from Adelaide. One letter difference. Get the two confused and you could wind up in Darwin instead of Sydney or vice versa, after thousands of kilometres of bloody nowhere.
All part of making this country even more dangerous for tourists. Although I'm the only person I actually know who (briefly) got the highways confused.
Sort of like eating a cone with no ice cream.
Oh dear lord.

So tragic. Perhaps the Norks had something to do with this “accident.” Or whoever “disappeared” MH370.
Prayers for the passengers and their families.
