South Korea Ferry Crew: We Were Ordered to Abandon Sinking Ship

A crew member on the sunken South Korean ferry said on Thursday she and her colleagues were "under command" to abandon ship while passengers were trapped on board.

The unidentified crew member spoke briefly to reporters on the way from court back into detention. She was wearing a surgical mask and a baseball cap with a jacket hood.

Investigations are focused on human error and mechanical failure, but authorities have expressed anger at the actions of the crew, most of whom survived after abandoning the Sewol while passengers were still on board.

Sunken ship left port with 3 times maximum cargo load

Hundred of passengers died after being told to stay in place rather than escaping the ship.

South Korea's president Park Geun-hye on Monday accused the captain and crew of the country's sunken ferry of "unforgivable, murderous behavior."

More than 300 people, most of them students and teachers from the same school, are dead or missing presumed dead in the April 16 disaster. As the ferry began sinking, the crew told the children to stay in their cabins.

NBC 인터넷판 보도에 의하면 신원을 알 수 없는 한 승무원이 말하기를 "침몰하는 배를 포기하고 탈출하라는 명령을 받았다" 라고 보도하고 있습니다. 이것이 사실이라면 누가 왜 이런 명령을 내렸을까요? 지금도 이해가 가지않는 것은 해경은 왜 선실에 300명이상이나 있는 학생들 구조에 적극적으로 행동하지 않했는지 참으로 답답합니다.
