Remember April 16,2014? || #BTS #ARMY #KOREA #SEOUL #SAD #SOUTHKOREA

This was known as the Sewol Ferry Tradegy. On April 16, 2014, Southwestern coast of South Korea, 476 passengers onboard, about 323 of them being high-school students, were on a ferry to go to Jeju, South Korea, for a field trip and some just to get home. When they were in the water, one of the vehicles from below the ship somehow was detached from the boat, leading it to hit one of the sides of the boat, causing a hole in the boat. When this happened, students and teachers were ordered to go to their rooms and wait. Not knowing what was happening, students were ordered to stay calm.
About an hour goes by and there was no sign of help. Students were calling their parents telling them what was going on even though they weren't completely sure what was going on. Because the parents were told that the students were being saved and that everything was alright, they told them to listen to the teachers and stay calm, later regretting that they ever said that. While this was happening, the crew members were trying to get the Coast Guards to come help them. The Coast Guard kept on declining to send help to them. By now, half of the boat was under water, and kids were in the hallways of the boat, almost being able to stand on the walls because of how much it had capsized. About an hour goes by and the kids were still in the boat. Another 45 minutes went by and everyone was still in the boat. By this time, everyone is getting scared. About 45 minutes before the ship sank, the Coast Guard finally agreed to send help to the children and get them out. The captain and some of the crew evacuated the boat first leaving everyone on it without telling them help was there.
They had waited so long, the boat was on its side and was almost impossible to get out of. Kids tried to climb up the walls, but couldn't and were freaking out. They eventually were able to get a few students out with the help of others. But, tragically, the boat sank, leaving 304 students, teachers, and others in the boat. When it sank, all they could hear were kids screaming for their parents. Only 172 people were rescued from that boat that day, only 75 being students. Later on in the years, scuba divers went down to retrieve the bodies of them 304 that were left under. To this day, there are only 5 missing bodies left, 2 students, 1 teacher, and a father and his toddler. The Captain of the boat was charged with murder, but only sentenced to 35 years of prison. When people found this out, they were furious. The Korean Government tried their best to hide everything that happened that day, so, most of the parents don't even know what happened to their children which is absolutely heartbreaking. The fact that all of those people could've been saved and didn't is absolutely horrible. There are many interviews that you can find of the people who survived this tragedy and it's so heartbreaking.

“ When the boat sank, all you could hear was kids crying for their parents” Imagine the parent heard their kids screaming for them . The pain they must have felt❤️‍🩹

And that's why BTS has a big army for they think of others before themselves ❤
