Because the crews escaped with announcing "hold still in the place" to the 304 passengers in the ship, and the maritime police did not any right rescue, and so the 304 passengers in the ship were all dead. This accident happened begining with Yimyungbak goverment's lessening the vessel age regulation connecting on Bakguenhye's government's rescue failure. In this point, the Sewol ferry disaster is a representative example of corruption accident by government failure.
