We continue our special coverage on the ferry that has capsized off Korea's southwestern coast... A major rescue operation continues on this Thursday evening,... a day and a half after a Korean passenger ferry carrying 4-hundred-75 people listed and started to sink. NINE people have now been confirmed dead, while 2-hundred-87 others remain unaccounted for. Most onboard the Sewol ferry were teenagers,... high school students heading to Korea's southern Jeju Island for a field trip. According to a press briefing led by the securities minister earlier today, 1-hundred-79 people have so far been rescued from the ferry... and no further updates on their status has been given, since. One-hundred-and-one of them are currently being treated in eight different hospitals,... and five are in critical condition.
