Korean Ferry Rescue Mishandled

Friday, 18 April 2014 | by Pat's Picks

The New York Times says evidence is mounting that human error contributed to the massive loss of life in the South Korean ferry disaster. The ship’s captain was among the first to flee, and passengers weren’t told to evacuate for more than an hour after the ship began taking on water. Only a couple of the 44 lifeboats were deployed. 271 people remain missing as of Friday.
