South Koreans express grief at memorial for ferry victims

By Agencies in Ansan and Seoul, South Korea (China Daily) Updated: 2014-04-24 07:01

Thousands of mourners paid tearful respects on Wednesday at a temporary memorial to the hundreds of student victims of South Korea's ferry disaster, as the grim search for bodies entered a second week.

The confirmed death toll stood at 150, but 152 were still unaccounted for, their bodies believed trapped in the inverted, submerged ship that sank a week ago in circumstances that have yet to be fully explained.

As the relatives of the missing began their daily vigil at the harbor on Jindo island, where bodies recovered from the disaster site are brought, others converged on a temporary memorial to the victims in Ansan, 320 kilometers to the north.

Ansan has become a focal point of national mourning. The city is home to Danwon High School, which had 352 students and a dozen teachers on the Sewol when it capsized.

Nearly 280 students are among the dead and missing.

The memorial, set up in an indoor sports stadium, was opened on Wednesday and comprised a giant altar in the form of a terraced bank of flowers - white, yellow and green chrysanthemums - among which rested the framed pictures and names of students whose funerals have already taken place.

Above the floral wall a large banner carried the message: "We pray for the souls of the departed".

Mourners, clutching single white chrysanthemums handed out by volunteers, wept, bowed and prayed as they stood before the altar before placing their flowers below the students' pictures.

There was anger as well as grief. One woman railed tearfully against the authorities for not saving more people, while one large floral tribute carried a sash with the simple message: "I hate the Republic of Korea".

Among the mourners were many schoolchildren in uniform, some of whom broke down and had to be helped out of the stadium.

On Wednesday morning, prosecutors raided a host of businesses affiliated with the ferry operator, the Chonghaejin Marine Co.

The raid was part of a probe into "overall corruption in management", said Kim Hoe-jong, a prosecutor on the case.

More than 70 executives and other people connected with Chonghaejin and its affiliates have been issued 30-day travel bans while they are investigated on possible charges ranging from criminal negligence to embezzlement.
