Will they come back?

, April 24, 2014

An altar and a message praying for the return of missing passengers onboard South Korean ferry Sewol, which capsized last Wednesday, are seen next to the sea at a port where family members of missing passengers are waiting for news from rescue and salvage teams in Jindo, on April 24. The Sewol sank on April 16 on a routine trip from the port of Incheon, near Seoul, to the southern holiday island of Jeju. Investigations are focused on human error or a mechanical fault, with media saying the ship was three times overloaded, with cargo poorly stowed and inadequate ballast water.
