Korean Ferry Crew
April 22, 2014 by staff
Korean Ferry Crew, The first distress call from the ferry Sewol came not from the crew, but from a boy who used a cell phone to contact emergency services from aboard the sinking ship, the South Korean coast guard confirmed to CNN Tuesday.
CNN affiliate JTBC reported that the boy dialed South Korea’s emergency number, telling dispatchers for a local fire service, “Help us. The boat is sinking.” The boy’s fate was not clear.
It was not until three minutes later, the coast guard told CNN, that the ship’s crew made a distress call to maritime officials.
The revelation is likely to add to questions about the conduct of the crew, nine of whom are facing charges in last week’s sinking.
