Korean Ferry Sinks, Leaving Country in Distress

On Wednesday, a South Korean ferry boat carrying about 400 passengers, many of whom were high school students, sank. Many passengers have been rescued, however, 9 have been confirmed dead and there are still many who remain missing. The students on the ferry were taking a four-day field trip to a popular island resort, as a break before they have to take their difficult college entrance exams. As of now, no foul play can be seen, but some speculate that the sinking was caused by an act by North Korea.
