I am Anderson Cooper from 360. New charges in the ferry sinking is the death toll 1 climbing in South Korea also counterplyning a major new direction in the search for flight 370. Let us get strated.
This very groom 2 morning on the water of south korea, where K is joining us now. So you are just outside what is called exclusions 3. Take a through what you can see from where you are.
Well, let me just have you to take a look at this. On this yellow sea , on the boat, this endless herizon. Check this out. The number of ships that are on the water, you can see a helicopter flying towards us.And then these smaller boats you are looking at.These are where the divers 4 get on them from the larger marine 5 vessels 7.They get into these smaller boats,and that is how they diver down. We have seen a couple of them, just sort of scheming the surface back and forth 8.Those @ there, you are looking at, you see that crane, and then you see these large @ just floating there.They are offwhite.Those are where the divers have the guidelines and they go all the way down underneath 9 the sunken ferry.We are very close, we do want to point out we are outside the area where the coast guards drawing a line. We are trying not to interfere 10. And as far as we know, we are not. But you can see those orange vessels, they are going back and forth.And this is extremely difficult dangerous work. These divers can not see in front of their very own faces. This has been going on throughout the night when we arrived here about 12 hours ago. You can see that there were lights on, they kept going in. And what is driving these divers. when you speak to them, Anderson, what we hear again and again is that they just can not bear the idea of so many 15-16-17-year old children being under the water. They are holding on to hope that there may just be a miracle. They may indeed bein the air pocket where they can find some survivers.
K, this is going on around the clock? I mean they are working neither diving, and none in the evening under this condition?
They are diving at night even under this condition. The scary part is that they are not quite able to access the most dangerous part of the ship, because they are worrying for their own safety. What they are using is the rope, sort of going hand by hand underneath the water inch by inch and they are going into the vessel 6. We have heard from the maritime 11 police that they were able to get inside the vessel at 6 am local time,so this spent about 3 hours now underneath the water. And I mean I can see it very closely with my own eyes. What they are doing is that when they find the bodies, they bring them up. Almost 19% of them are wearing life vests just like me. This is a sunder 12 of life here in South Korea. And then they are brought to the surface, and then brought back to shore. This is extrodinary solomn and very very difficult.
So a lot of these kids were wearing a life vest.they are still in their life vests when they have been found.Talk about the investigation,I mean there has been a number of development over this weekend and on monday as well.
When you listen to the radio trans machines, especailly there is a lot of confusion and there seems a light of leadership. So that is what investigators 13 are focusing on. A: did they have a plan? B: did they follow it? And then why did the captain tell everyone to stay inside? Why did he issue the order to stay in the cabin, so there is a question of negligence 14 as well. And then how much carge was aboard this vessel. That is still a big question, because many of the people who were aboard this vessel, who tell us they heard a large bomb. While it did not hit anything, if you look at the topographical map,especailly here, there is nothing. There is no rocks that are gonna jet out hit the vessel. so that is what they are looking at. Whether the cargo 15 was placed correctly and whether the ship is engineered and balancd approporiately for such a trip.
