Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:50,167 --> 00:00:52,792
Upside Down
2
00:00:55,208 --> 00:00:57,958
Family? You mean who live here?
3
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,042
I,
4
00:01:01,708 --> 00:01:05,417
Seongbin's mom, Gaeul,
5
00:01:05,792 --> 00:01:06,917
and Seongbin.
6
00:01:15,833 --> 00:01:18,583
Goun is, first child. my eldest daughter.
7
00:01:19,708 --> 00:01:24,042
My eldest son's birth weight was 3.2kg
and younger one was 3.3kg.
8
00:01:25,583 --> 00:01:29,792
I lost my parents at an early age.
9
00:01:30,833 --> 00:01:33,958
And it is a custom that a woman visits her family
to give birth to her child.
10
00:01:33,958 --> 00:01:37,542
As my in-laws live in Changwon,
11
00:01:37,542 --> 00:01:41,458
both of my sons were born
in Samsung Changwon Hospital.
12
00:01:42,833 --> 00:01:45,708
Dayeong was born on July 14, 1997.
13
00:01:45,708 --> 00:01:48,125
She was born when summer reaches peak heat.
14
00:01:48,125 --> 00:01:51,042
I have four brothers
15
00:01:51,625 --> 00:01:53,542
and Dayeong has no aunt on the father's side.
16
00:01:54,875 --> 00:01:56,125
And it was a girl!
17
00:01:56,917 --> 00:01:59,458
I called my mother, who lived in Anyang,
18
00:02:00,375 --> 00:02:04,750
from a pay phone and told her my daughter was born.
19
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,542
She just rushed over to the hospital to celebrate.
20
00:02:07,542 --> 00:02:09,667
I like mountain climbing,
21
00:02:09,667 --> 00:02:12,000
and I told you that
my wife is 7 years younger than me.
22
00:02:12,458 --> 00:02:15,792
Ah... My wife's gonna be mad at me
if she knows I tell you this.
23
00:02:16,292 --> 00:02:19,708
She'd had a crush on me. I mean really.
24
00:02:19,708 --> 00:02:21,625
I know how I look now,
25
00:02:21,625 --> 00:02:24,375
but I was a total chick magnet.
26
00:02:25,708 --> 00:02:27,250
So, ah... this is top secret.
27
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:32,417
We went to Juwang Mountain and Seho
was conceived there.
28
00:02:32,417 --> 00:02:35,583
So his fetus nickname was "Juwang."
29
00:02:36,083 --> 00:02:39,375
I had a very auspicious conception dream.
30
00:02:40,542 --> 00:02:42,792
A scallop shell opened just
31
00:02:44,375 --> 00:02:48,125
like the Birth of Venus.
32
00:02:48,125 --> 00:02:50,042
I told people about my dream
33
00:02:50,042 --> 00:02:53,208
and they said it's a conception dream.
34
00:02:53,792 --> 00:02:57,333
A goddess was born from a giant scallop.
35
00:02:57,833 --> 00:03:00,458
That's way Seongbin is pretty.
36
00:03:02,333 --> 00:03:07,292
She was a baby with big appetite
37
00:03:07,833 --> 00:03:10,083
and smiled and laughed a lot.
38
00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:14,500
As a baby, she was very active.
39
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:19,792
When I got home late, Dayeong waited for me
40
00:03:19,792 --> 00:03:22,125
and showed me kindergarten dances and songs.
41
00:03:22,125 --> 00:03:24,083
As I was drunk, I just reclined
42
00:03:24,083 --> 00:03:27,875
and paid little attention, saying,
"yeah, you are very good."
43
00:03:27,875 --> 00:03:33,167
But she did her best for the performance.
44
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:35,292
This guy was so generous that
always treated friends.
45
00:03:35,292 --> 00:03:37,542
Hamburgers or whatever.
46
00:03:37,542 --> 00:03:42,167
Other guys chip in,
but Seho liked to treat friends.
47
00:03:42,167 --> 00:03:44,208
Whenever he got some money,
48
00:03:44,208 --> 00:03:46,125
he treated as many as twenty
to thirty hamburgers for friends.
49
00:03:47,333 --> 00:03:48,750
Do you mean he was unstinting?
50
00:03:48,750 --> 00:03:50,833
Not really. He just liked friends so much.
51
00:03:52,625 --> 00:03:54,083
Seho had lots of friends.
52
00:03:54,083 --> 00:03:55,708
He was popular among peers.
53
00:03:57,958 --> 00:04:03,042
Others say their adolescent kids
don't want to talk to dad.
54
00:04:03,042 --> 00:04:04,833
But that wasn't the case with me and my girl.
55
00:04:06,083 --> 00:04:08,500
Seongbin liked to sit close to me when studying.
56
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:16,958
Except for school hours, she was always with me.
57
00:04:17,333 --> 00:04:18,208
She would always be with me
58
00:04:18,208 --> 00:04:19,167
unless she had special schedule
59
00:04:19,167 --> 00:04:20,708
like hanging out with friends.
60
00:04:23,833 --> 00:04:27,042
What did Dayeong want to be when she grew up?
61
00:04:28,042 --> 00:04:31,000
Her dream had changed occasionally.
62
00:04:31,875 --> 00:04:34,917
Recently, she wanted to be a doctor.
63
00:04:35,417 --> 00:04:41,458
However, as math class got more challenging
from 11th grade,
64
00:04:42,833 --> 00:04:45,417
she agonized over what to do.
65
00:04:45,417 --> 00:04:47,917
I guess she lost confidence
66
00:04:47,917 --> 00:04:52,167
due to the fierce competition
67
00:04:52,167 --> 00:04:53,875
for entrance into premedical course.
68
00:04:54,792 --> 00:04:57,958
"Dad, I'm gonna choose a visual major.
69
00:04:58,625 --> 00:05:00,542
I think that's right for me."
70
00:05:01,208 --> 00:05:04,708
So I said OK.
71
00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:06,292
Once, she had won a silver prize,
72
00:05:06,292 --> 00:05:11,458
with the User-Created Content video that
73
00:05:11,458 --> 00:05:13,917
she shot with the classmates, in a contest.
74
00:05:15,917 --> 00:05:21,000
When she was in elementary school,
she wanted to be a kindergarten teacher.
75
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,125
In middle school, until 8th grade,
she had not been a remarkable student.
76
00:05:24,667 --> 00:05:27,708
However, from 8th grade,
she ranked at the top of the school.
77
00:05:28,292 --> 00:05:30,708
Then, she said she wanted to be
a diplomat or a judge.
78
00:05:30,708 --> 00:05:34,333
She stuck to her dreams.
79
00:05:35,292 --> 00:05:37,250
I told you, I hold a cook license.
80
00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:43,167
On Sundays, you know,
it's impossible on week days,
81
00:05:43,167 --> 00:05:45,458
but on Sunday, I cook breakfast for family.
82
00:05:45,875 --> 00:05:47,125
I'm no kidding.
83
00:05:49,625 --> 00:05:51,500
My boys complained about mom's food.
84
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:55,542
Cooking is a daily routine for mom,
85
00:05:55,542 --> 00:05:58,625
but when I have to cook once in a while,
I do it right.
86
00:05:59,083 --> 00:06:02,750
"Ah... Mom is no match for dad."
87
00:06:02,750 --> 00:06:04,542
I was sorry for my wife, so I added
88
00:06:04,542 --> 00:06:07,208
"Hey, you know what? I am a cook license holder."
89
00:06:08,125 --> 00:06:09,333
And my son said, "yeah, I know that."
90
00:06:10,417 --> 00:06:11,792
Then we laughed out loud.
91
00:06:12,958 --> 00:06:15,083
It wasn't a big deal,
92
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:18,750
but I loved cooking whatever my kids wanted.
93
00:06:20,375 --> 00:06:23,042
I guess Seho developed his passion
for cooking from dad.
94
00:06:23,458 --> 00:06:24,833
I don't think so...
95
00:06:29,917 --> 00:06:32,625
but I can't rule out that
it was my influence, huh?
96
00:06:34,292 --> 00:06:39,500
Seho liked to assist me when I was cooking.
97
00:06:41,750 --> 00:06:43,208
Right, that makes sense.
98
00:06:43,208 --> 00:06:45,458
Now that I think about it,
I'm not sure but it could be.
99
00:06:50,375 --> 00:06:54,875
It's heartbreaking
to think about school excursion.
100
00:06:56,417 --> 00:07:04,375
I run my own business and recently
I had financial difficulties.
101
00:07:05,458 --> 00:07:12,375
When talking about this and that,
102
00:07:12,375 --> 00:07:16,542
my wife told Goun that
103
00:07:16,542 --> 00:07:21,667
we can't afford to pay for you
to go on a school excursion.
104
00:07:22,417 --> 00:07:26,625
At work, I received her text message.
105
00:07:27,708 --> 00:07:31,792
"Dad, I want to go on a school excursion
106
00:07:33,208 --> 00:07:35,250
but mom says I can't.
107
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:37,542
Is it true?"
108
00:07:38,958 --> 00:07:40,625
So I answered, "What are you talking about?
109
00:07:41,542 --> 00:07:43,458
Daddy can pay for the school excursion, of course.
110
00:07:43,458 --> 00:07:45,500
You will go on a school trip
111
00:07:46,417 --> 00:07:50,208
and don't worry about it."
112
00:07:51,125 --> 00:07:54,375
She spread clothes all over here.
113
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:59,625
If she had had a big sister,
her sister could have checked out them.
114
00:07:59,625 --> 00:08:09,042
So, Seongbin made video calls to her friends
to talk about her outfits,
115
00:08:09,042 --> 00:08:13,250
asking "What do you think? How do I look?"
116
00:08:18,083 --> 00:08:20,917
She did it for three days, or even for a week.
117
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:29,875
Dayeong was born in 1997
and she lived for about 18 years.
118
00:08:29,875 --> 00:08:35,583
The Korean society changed a lot in her lifetime.
119
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:41,333
In 1998, the Asian Financial Crisis took place
120
00:08:41,917 --> 00:08:50,708
and since 2003, infectious diseases
like SARS and bird flu have prevailed.
121
00:08:50,708 --> 00:08:55,083
Due to the outbreak of these illnesses,
122
00:08:56,083 --> 00:08:59,125
kids could not go on school trips
when they were younger.
123
00:08:59,125 --> 00:09:01,000
When Seho was in elementary school,
124
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,583
the school excursion planned to Gyeongju
was cancelled,
125
00:09:03,583 --> 00:09:05,875
because of swine flu.
126
00:09:06,708 --> 00:09:08,792
How they wanted to go on a school excursion
this time!
127
00:09:13,208 --> 00:09:14,625
Nothing special.
128
00:09:14,625 --> 00:09:17,708
I just said "Bon voyage!"
in the morning of the previous day.
129
00:09:19,792 --> 00:09:26,917
When school was over
they went to Incheon to get on board.
130
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:33,583
On the day, I just said a pleasant journey.
131
00:09:36,042 --> 00:09:38,208
If I had known that it would be the last time,
132
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:40,958
I would not have done so.
133
00:09:42,792 --> 00:09:45,792
In the morning, no, in the evening of the day,
134
00:09:48,042 --> 00:09:50,417
Seongbin sent a text message to her mom
135
00:09:50,417 --> 00:09:52,250
that the ship was docked at the port
because it was foggy.
136
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:55,958
My wife asked whether
she took travel sickness pills.
137
00:09:55,958 --> 00:10:01,292
After a long pause, my wife received
Seongbin's reply that she took them.
138
00:10:01,292 --> 00:10:03,333
Then, she sent messages that now she would go,
139
00:10:03,333 --> 00:10:04,792
as the fog had dispersed
and it was possible to sail.
140
00:10:04,792 --> 00:10:06,417
That was all.
141
00:10:07,333 --> 00:10:09,125
"Hey, your daddy is missing you.
142
00:10:09,917 --> 00:10:12,625
I know that you are having fun
with your friends now,
143
00:10:12,625 --> 00:10:15,458
but I told you that
you should text me on your departure.
144
00:10:15,458 --> 00:10:18,042
Is it a pleasant voyage?
145
00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:22,125
But I'm a bit sulking with you."
146
00:10:23,958 --> 00:10:30,083
The message I sent became the last one.
147
00:10:31,292 --> 00:10:33,167
His last words were...you know,
148
00:10:38,333 --> 00:10:40,708
we had no idea it'd be the end...
149
00:10:44,292 --> 00:10:46,000
he said "I'll be back soon."
150
00:10:48,125 --> 00:10:50,583
Precisely, "I'll be back soon, dad. See you."
151
00:10:56,833 --> 00:10:59,167
...any marine accident, marine criminal...
152
00:10:59,417 --> 00:11:01,583
Thank you for calling,
the coast guard situation room.
153
00:11:01,583 --> 00:11:03,125
119 here,
154
00:11:03,125 --> 00:11:06,458
did you pick up the phone call from the ferry
to Jeju Island from Incheon?
155
00:11:06,458 --> 00:11:07,750
Ah, you mean the Sewol ferry? I got the phone.
156
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:08,625
Where are you now?
157
00:11:08,625 --> 00:11:11,167
119 situation room. -119, OK
158
00:11:11,167 --> 00:11:12,458
We've got a report that the vessel is tilted
159
00:11:12,458 --> 00:11:15,042
and now many passengers are drowning
160
00:11:15,042 --> 00:11:16,375
Passengers are drowning?
161
00:11:16,375 --> 00:11:17,167
Yes.
162
00:11:17,167 --> 00:11:19,125
How many passengers are in the water? one?
163
00:11:19,125 --> 00:11:22,792
As of now, many are in the water,
according to the distress call.
164
00:11:22,792 --> 00:11:25,958
It seems that many students
are on board for school trip.
165
00:11:25,958 --> 00:11:29,667
Right after morning meeting,
166
00:11:29,667 --> 00:11:32,875
when I went back to my office to start the day,
167
00:11:33,917 --> 00:11:37,208
the chief director who is responsible for
the whole broadcasting schedule came to my desk
168
00:11:37,833 --> 00:11:43,375
and said a ship that students were on board
went aground and tilted.
169
00:11:43,792 --> 00:11:45,375
I asked him about the kind of the vessel
170
00:11:45,375 --> 00:11:46,958
and he answered, "it might be a big car ferry."
171
00:11:48,333 --> 00:11:49,708
In the morning of the day,
172
00:11:49,708 --> 00:11:56,667
when I turned on the computer in the office,
I saw the new titles,
173
00:11:57,500 --> 00:11:59,750
Ferry Began to Sink off Coast of Jindo..
174
00:12:00,333 --> 00:12:04,667
I was struck by the thought that
"Dayeong set off yesterday
175
00:12:04,667 --> 00:12:06,875
and now the vessel would be around Jindo."
176
00:12:06,875 --> 00:12:10,542
So I followed the breaking news reports.
177
00:12:10,542 --> 00:12:14,875
Then, Danwon High School was mentioned
in the articles.
178
00:12:16,083 --> 00:12:18,583
I thought something went wrong.
179
00:12:18,917 --> 00:12:21,583
Hello, it's 119 situation room here.
180
00:12:21,583 --> 00:12:23,958
They are students from
Danwon High School of Ansan city,
181
00:12:23,958 --> 00:12:25,625
I mean the passengers.
182
00:12:27,250 --> 00:12:30,708
My colleagues asked me
if my son was a Danwon High student.
183
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:33,625
I said yes, and their reaction was "Oh, my god."
184
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:36,333
Why? I asked.
185
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,458
Now the vessel is sinking off the coast of Jindo,
they said,
186
00:12:41,458 --> 00:12:43,292
isn't it the vessel that your son is on board?
187
00:12:43,292 --> 00:12:44,792
I shouted, "It makes no sense.
188
00:12:45,458 --> 00:12:47,875
Such a huge vessel cannot capsize."
189
00:12:47,875 --> 00:12:50,042
Even the weather was fine on the day.
190
00:12:50,583 --> 00:12:51,833
Hello, 119.
191
00:12:51,833 --> 00:12:55,333
Hello, Mokpo Coast Guard here.
192
00:12:55,333 --> 00:12:56,667
We received a report that a ferry,
193
00:12:56,667 --> 00:13:00,125
of which the name is Sewol,
194
00:13:00,125 --> 00:13:06,167
is now sinking near Byeongpung Island of Jindo.
195
00:13:06,167 --> 00:13:09,458
My wife received a phone call at 8:45 from Seho.
196
00:13:09,458 --> 00:13:12,083
He said "The ship is a bit tilted, but..."
197
00:13:12,083 --> 00:13:14,208
Then he told that
all the students had to assemble,
198
00:13:14,208 --> 00:13:15,250
and hung up.
199
00:13:15,250 --> 00:13:17,583
Everybody says they were ordered to stay put.
Stay in the cabin.
200
00:13:17,583 --> 00:13:20,000
Teachers told so and students just followed.
201
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,500
Do you know what I mean?
202
00:13:22,375 --> 00:13:24,625
If I told him "Just anyhow get out of there,
don't mind whatever teacher says.
203
00:13:24,625 --> 00:13:27,458
Get out with your teacher right now,"
204
00:13:27,958 --> 00:13:29,917
he would survive. It was never too late.
205
00:13:31,417 --> 00:13:34,208
My kid got out of the cabin at 8:35
206
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,083
and took pictures for three minutes.
207
00:13:38,083 --> 00:13:39,250
He went back to the cabin as ordered.
208
00:13:39,250 --> 00:13:40,375
And he died.
209
00:13:41,417 --> 00:13:42,917
I even have the pictures he took on the deck.
210
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:56,542
If they noticed that the vessel would sink
211
00:13:56,542 --> 00:13:57,542
and predicted that the passengers,
212
00:13:57,542 --> 00:14:00,417
in particular, young students,
213
00:14:00,417 --> 00:14:01,708
would die if they were left in the vessel,
214
00:14:01,708 --> 00:14:03,792
it would be a murder.
215
00:14:03,792 --> 00:14:07,417
In order to prove them guilty of murder,
there should be willful negligence in their act,
216
00:14:07,417 --> 00:14:09,625
like the attitude that it would be OK
even if the passengers die.
217
00:14:10,625 --> 00:14:13,083
They said stay put.
218
00:14:13,083 --> 00:14:18,625
If we move, the ship would sink.
219
00:14:18,625 --> 00:14:21,042
Stay put, unless the ship will sink? -Right.
220
00:14:21,042 --> 00:14:25,250
The crew members had enough time before the escape.
221
00:14:25,250 --> 00:14:29,500
They conspired and changed
back into civilian clothes.
222
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:33,542
If they were in sailor suit,
the Coast Guard would not rescue them,
223
00:14:33,542 --> 00:14:36,042
as they were obliged to remain on the ship.
224
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,583
Actually, more than 2 hours were left
225
00:14:46,583 --> 00:14:48,583
from capsize to sinking.
226
00:14:48,583 --> 00:14:55,000
The time was enough for passengers to escape.
227
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,667
They had not to waste the time.
228
00:15:02,708 --> 00:15:06,875
Two hours from the initial distress call
229
00:15:06,875 --> 00:15:10,500
is kind of the best golden time.
230
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:15,125
During the time, as many as 19 calls
231
00:15:15,125 --> 00:15:20,417
were made between 119 rescue
232
00:15:20,417 --> 00:15:23,583
unit and the Coast Guard,
233
00:15:23,583 --> 00:15:29,625
from 8:58 to 11:00, on April 16.
234
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,125
Hello?
235
00:15:31,125 --> 00:15:33,292
yeah, I know that.
236
00:15:33,292 --> 00:15:35,042
But the officials from the Ministry of Health
237
00:15:35,042 --> 00:15:39,208
and Welfare and from
other government agencies are coming.
238
00:15:39,792 --> 00:15:42,458
As they can't approach Seogeochado island,
239
00:15:42,458 --> 00:15:44,125
the high-ranking officials
will go to Paengmok harbor in Jindo.
240
00:15:44,125 --> 00:15:45,292
What can we do?
241
00:15:46,125 --> 00:15:48,625
High-ranking officials are coming.
242
00:15:48,625 --> 00:15:50,542
Whether powerful figures come to
Seogeochado island or Paengmok harbor
243
00:15:50,542 --> 00:15:52,167
is none of our business.
244
00:15:52,167 --> 00:15:55,000
Isn't it our priority to rescue
as many as possible?
245
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,375
Of course you're right, but...
246
00:15:56,375 --> 00:15:58,375
Officials of the Ministry of Health and Welfare,
247
00:15:58,375 --> 00:16:00,292
the former Ministry of Security
248
00:16:00,292 --> 00:16:04,542
and Public Administration,
the Jeonnam Fire Service,
249
00:16:04,542 --> 00:16:06,542
and local authorities
250
00:16:06,542 --> 00:16:09,042
All visited Paengmok harbor
251
00:16:09,042 --> 00:16:13,250
and more than 2 hours,
the rescue operations had to be suspended.
252
00:16:13,542 --> 00:16:14,833
For these two hours,
253
00:16:14,833 --> 00:16:16,500
the vessel was in the jurisdiction of
Jindo Vessel Traffic Service VTS
254
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:17,833
but no counteraction was made.
255
00:16:17,833 --> 00:16:19,625
A student dialled
256
00:16:19,625 --> 00:16:22,708
and the Coast Guard wasted time
by asking nonsense questions.
257
00:16:22,708 --> 00:16:24,375
The operation had to be swift
258
00:16:24,375 --> 00:16:26,792
but they were late as
there was no helicopter available.
259
00:16:26,792 --> 00:16:30,500
The scuba divers and diving equipment
weren't sufficient
260
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:34,792
and the operation team was reluctant
to put civilian expert divers in operation.
261
00:16:34,792 --> 00:16:39,125
The navy divers were not dispatched.
262
00:16:39,125 --> 00:16:40,833
In total, the number of divers was too small.
263
00:16:41,292 --> 00:16:43,500
News reports aired headline captions of
264
00:16:44,458 --> 00:16:48,000
all Danwon High students rescued!
265
00:16:49,167 --> 00:16:57,625
At that time, all information came from the police
266
00:16:57,625 --> 00:17:01,875
and we saw other broadcasting company aired
that all rescued, with bold headlines.
267
00:17:01,875 --> 00:17:03,792
We thought we had to broadcast the same coverage.
268
00:17:03,792 --> 00:17:08,708
In about 10 minutes, the news of saving
all students turned to be false.
269
00:17:08,708 --> 00:17:11,167
We reported a huge incorrect news.
270
00:17:11,167 --> 00:17:16,792
If the government is giving out misinformation,
271
00:17:16,792 --> 00:17:22,417
that says something about their ability
to have a plan in place
272
00:17:22,417 --> 00:17:24,500
for handling disaster and information.
273
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:26,792
Is the number of passengers 324?
274
00:17:26,792 --> 00:17:30,292
As of now, we count them to be 450, but...
275
00:17:30,292 --> 00:17:31,250
I see...
276
00:17:31,625 --> 00:17:33,125
But, not so sure
277
00:17:34,042 --> 00:17:37,542
You know, I think,
the rush to get information out there,
278
00:17:37,542 --> 00:17:42,417
sometimes supersedes giving out right,
which is a wrong thing to do,
279
00:17:42,417 --> 00:17:43,500
sure are the part of journalists
280
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:46,083
or people giving out the information.
281
00:17:46,583 --> 00:17:50,333
The sinking of the vessel
was a natural disaster.
282
00:17:50,333 --> 00:17:53,167
But if no one was rescued in operation,
283
00:17:53,167 --> 00:17:54,417
it is a man-made calamity.
284
00:17:54,417 --> 00:17:58,583
Then, people realize
the inability of the government
285
00:17:58,583 --> 00:18:02,292
and that the national system
does not save the people's lives.
286
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:04,958
Hah...
287
00:18:06,167 --> 00:18:09,792
When the parents, including me,
288
00:18:10,375 --> 00:18:12,083
got on the bus to get to the coast,
we could not say a word, stricken with despair.
289
00:18:14,125 --> 00:18:16,625
We imagined an extreme, worst scenario,
290
00:18:18,833 --> 00:18:23,417
however, at the back of mind, we hoped
291
00:18:23,417 --> 00:18:26,333
"My kid would be alive."
292
00:18:26,583 --> 00:18:31,167
Certainly he/she was rescued.
293
00:18:31,167 --> 00:18:32,833
What about the death toll?
294
00:18:32,833 --> 00:18:34,500
The ship went down.
295
00:18:34,750 --> 00:18:36,042
Hello?
296
00:18:36,792 --> 00:18:38,125
Yeah, the ship went down now.
297
00:18:38,125 --> 00:18:40,208
Is it entirely submerged?
298
00:18:40,208 --> 00:18:41,583
Is it sunk?
299
00:18:41,583 --> 00:18:42,458
Yes.
300
00:18:42,458 --> 00:18:45,375
Uhm...so...
301
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:47,208
How much has the rescue operation done?
302
00:18:47,208 --> 00:18:49,792
No, not everyone could escape.
303
00:18:50,250 --> 00:18:52,042
You mean there are casualties?
304
00:18:52,042 --> 00:18:53,750
Yes, it is predicted that there are deaths.
305
00:18:56,375 --> 00:18:58,792
I applied for rescue operations
306
00:18:58,792 --> 00:19:04,375
and asked when I could be involved
in the operations.
307
00:19:04,375 --> 00:19:09,208
They just said no one was sure when it would be.
308
00:19:09,208 --> 00:19:12,750
They rejected civilian participation
309
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:21,292
due to the issue of responsibility
that would arise in case of an accident.
310
00:19:21,292 --> 00:19:23,208
So we suggested that
311
00:19:23,208 --> 00:19:24,458
we will sign up the agreement concerning exemption
and verify the divers,
312
00:19:24,458 --> 00:19:27,083
by using all possible means,
313
00:19:27,083 --> 00:19:31,083
such as checking their certificates, or whatever.
314
00:19:31,083 --> 00:19:38,833
I carefully prepared to conduct rescue operations
as an individual diver.
315
00:19:38,833 --> 00:19:41,958
I brought extra breathing apparatus,
316
00:19:41,958 --> 00:19:46,292
just in case survivors are in the vessel,
in the isolated pockets of air.
317
00:19:47,042 --> 00:19:51,250
People talked about the air pocket, or void,
318
00:19:51,250 --> 00:19:53,000
so we had a glimpse of hope.
319
00:19:53,708 --> 00:19:58,792
If there are air pockets, we thought,
it would be better to supply oxygen into the void.
320
00:19:59,083 --> 00:20:02,292
At that time, they talked about air pockets
321
00:20:02,292 --> 00:20:03,917
and my wife asked,
322
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:08,375
As Seho learned how to swim,
he can get out of there, right?
323
00:20:08,375 --> 00:20:13,333
This made my heart broken.
324
00:20:13,333 --> 00:20:17,542
I could not tell her "It's over now."
325
00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:21,417
I knew that, but I couldn't tell her for 3 days.
326
00:20:22,208 --> 00:20:26,000
What if the air pockets do exist...
327
00:20:26,917 --> 00:20:28,083
what if...
328
00:20:28,958 --> 00:20:32,000
The news media coverage was very abuzz
with the titles like
329
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:41,042
more than 500, including civilian divers,
are on standby.
330
00:20:41,042 --> 00:20:43,708
But actually, the atmosphere at Paengmok harbor
331
00:20:43,708 --> 00:20:46,417
was quite different from what the news reported.
332
00:20:46,417 --> 00:20:50,333
It turned out that the coast guards
did not conduct any rescue activities
333
00:20:50,333 --> 00:20:52,583
in the early stage of the accident,
334
00:20:52,583 --> 00:20:53,833
however, at that time, it was reported that
335
00:20:53,833 --> 00:20:57,500
they are passionately committed
in rescue operations,
336
00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:01,083
lighting hundreds of flares.
337
00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:09,625
A reporter asked a rescued students
338
00:21:09,625 --> 00:21:12,917
if he knew his friends died,
339
00:21:12,917 --> 00:21:18,167
and the other media outlet reported on
how much the insurance payout was supposed to be,
340
00:21:18,167 --> 00:21:22,583
while the operation is still held.
341
00:21:22,583 --> 00:21:26,833
Usually, when an accident takes place,
342
00:21:26,833 --> 00:21:35,083
volunteers join the rescue headquarters
in the order of arrival.
343
00:21:35,083 --> 00:21:41,292
Following the directions,
they conduct operations.
344
00:21:41,292 --> 00:21:44,250
But this time, unfortunately,
the headquarters blocked the civilians.
345
00:21:44,250 --> 00:21:48,583
No one delivered messages to the parents.
346
00:21:49,375 --> 00:21:53,833
They had to hear the death of their beloved ones
from TV news reports or phone calls.
347
00:21:53,833 --> 00:21:58,292
When they heard the tragic news
on TV or by telephone,
348
00:21:58,292 --> 00:22:00,833
they let out a sob,
breaking the silence of gymnasium.
349
00:22:00,833 --> 00:22:02,458
The others remained in silence
and just guessed someone received sad news...
350
00:22:02,458 --> 00:22:04,875
In the disastrous situation,
351
00:22:04,875 --> 00:22:08,458
there is an urgency to get
as much information as possible,
352
00:22:08,458 --> 00:22:11,208
as quickly as possible, right?
353
00:22:11,208 --> 00:22:12,542
On the other hand,
354
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:16,167
one of the first things people do in this disaster
355
00:22:16,167 --> 00:22:19,833
is to want to talk to victims, or the survivors,
356
00:22:19,833 --> 00:22:24,667
or family members of people who've died,
or seriously injured.
357
00:22:24,667 --> 00:22:26,375
So that goes hand in hand.
358
00:22:26,375 --> 00:22:30,250
It rarely is possible
to only focus on what happened
359
00:22:30,250 --> 00:22:33,417
without talking to the people impacted.
360
00:22:33,417 --> 00:22:35,167
I don't think I've ever seen that.
361
00:22:35,167 --> 00:22:39,375
Please take someone who can give us the answer!
Please!
362
00:22:45,708 --> 00:22:48,042
It is a matter of common sense
363
00:22:48,042 --> 00:22:55,125
that the parents in Jindo gymnasium should be
the first ones who hear the operation news.
364
00:22:55,125 --> 00:22:58,208
And there should be a personnel
in charge of controlling news
365
00:22:58,208 --> 00:22:59,583
from external sources.
366
00:22:59,583 --> 00:23:03,292
But the media was the first ones
367
00:23:03,292 --> 00:23:07,792
and the parents had no choice
but to helplessly wait for news.
368
00:23:07,792 --> 00:23:10,000
It stirred up anger of the parents.
369
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,708
At first, I thought
370
00:23:13,708 --> 00:23:17,083
How come they want to visit Blue House?
371
00:23:17,083 --> 00:23:22,042
The bereaved families were blockaded
by ten police buses,
372
00:23:22,042 --> 00:23:24,500
when they headed for the presidential office.
373
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:28,292
I got the news via real-time SNS
374
00:23:28,292 --> 00:23:32,500
and realized that something went definitely wrong.
375
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:38,000
I didn't eat anything and on the third day,
376
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:46,375
my brother and brother-in-law received a food tray
from volunteers and gave it to me,
377
00:23:47,083 --> 00:23:50,375
saying, "You never skip meal."
378
00:23:50,375 --> 00:23:55,417
They said I have to eat well
and keep the steam up to find Dayeong.
379
00:23:56,167 --> 00:23:59,750
So I tried to eat
for the first time in three days...
380
00:24:00,750 --> 00:24:03,333
beef soup and rice.
381
00:24:04,042 --> 00:24:09,583
When I was about to eat,
382
00:24:12,542 --> 00:24:16,542
Dayeong was found...
383
00:24:17,083 --> 00:24:22,208
On the next day, the news report told that
Seongbin Park was found dead.
384
00:24:22,208 --> 00:24:24,583
As far as I remember,
it was around 7 in the morning.
385
00:24:24,583 --> 00:24:26,875
But I'm not sure,
families lost the notion of time,
386
00:24:26,875 --> 00:24:28,333
as we did not sleep at all.
387
00:24:29,333 --> 00:24:36,167
I heard the news of my daughter
and went to the headquarter.
388
00:24:36,167 --> 00:24:38,417
But it turned out to be incorrect.
389
00:24:47,875 --> 00:24:52,208
Her body was recovered on the seventh day,
390
00:24:52,208 --> 00:24:54,542
7: 49 in the morning.
391
00:24:58,542 --> 00:25:00,083
She was...
392
00:25:02,375 --> 00:25:05,792
like... clean like she just died.
393
00:25:06,208 --> 00:25:08,167
The corpse was not seriously damaged.
394
00:25:14,167 --> 00:25:18,542
On April 22. It was around 7:50 in the morning.
395
00:25:20,500 --> 00:25:25,417
I was so confused that
all girls looked like my daughter.
396
00:25:29,083 --> 00:25:32,458
All looked like my daughter
and I kind of fell into disorder then.
397
00:25:33,208 --> 00:25:38,292
I thought, "What's the distinct feature
of my daughter? Long hair?"
398
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,708
I was out of my mind.
399
00:25:48,667 --> 00:25:50,875
She came back on 29,
400
00:25:53,667 --> 00:25:55,500
April 29.
401
00:25:57,250 --> 00:26:02,167
They skipped the number 197
and just dealt with 198.
402
00:26:02,167 --> 00:26:05,667
I just stared, and knew that it was a girl.
Number 197 was a girl.
403
00:26:06,250 --> 00:26:08,250
They told that she wore a hoodie.
404
00:26:08,750 --> 00:26:12,042
I had a hunch that it would be my daughter.
405
00:26:12,042 --> 00:26:15,917
It was my gut feeling that my daughter came back.
406
00:26:17,083 --> 00:26:19,292
It was strange to feel it.
407
00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:27,750
In 19 to 20 days, he was found afloat.
408
00:26:27,750 --> 00:26:29,750
The condition of his body was well-preserved
and clean than other kids,
409
00:26:29,750 --> 00:26:31,875
except for face stained from
being exposed to the surface.
410
00:26:32,375 --> 00:26:35,208
He was an exemplar student
411
00:26:35,833 --> 00:26:38,792
and never hovered in underwear.
412
00:26:44,917 --> 00:26:45,917
Luckily, Seho's body was not damaged seriously
413
00:26:45,917 --> 00:26:48,125
that we could clean and dress
the deceased boy together, crying.
414
00:26:50,292 --> 00:26:55,625
She was just like a sleeping baby.
415
00:26:56,083 --> 00:26:58,000
Goun looked peaceful,
416
00:26:59,417 --> 00:27:01,625
but I saw her hands and fingernails.
417
00:27:02,208 --> 00:27:05,375
Her mom doesn't know about this,
as I kept it secret.
418
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,250
Goun's all fingernails were black with bruise.
419
00:27:11,958 --> 00:27:14,125
I was lost for words.
420
00:27:27,292 --> 00:27:31,042
On May 15, I took the students to an essay contest
421
00:27:31,042 --> 00:27:34,333
in Olympic Park.
422
00:27:34,333 --> 00:27:36,708
There, I met a middle school teacher from Ansan.
423
00:27:36,708 --> 00:27:38,667
He was clutching the school yearbook to him
and said,
424
00:27:40,917 --> 00:27:43,167
most kids in the book were gone now.
425
00:27:43,167 --> 00:27:44,875
They graduated from middle school
and entered Danwon High, and then...
426
00:27:44,875 --> 00:27:48,125
I imagined of the pictures
427
00:27:48,625 --> 00:27:54,625
of the dead students painted in black.
428
00:27:55,042 --> 00:27:57,875
Indeed,
429
00:27:57,875 --> 00:27:59,625
they were killed.
430
00:27:59,625 --> 00:28:05,125
I say so because the dying scene
was broadcasted live.
431
00:28:05,125 --> 00:28:08,417
They could not rescue even a single student.
432
00:28:08,417 --> 00:28:11,125
The scene that students buried at sea
was aired on TV.
433
00:28:11,125 --> 00:28:14,208
And we had to watch the scene via
many TV channels.
434
00:28:16,750 --> 00:28:21,125
Why did the capsize happened? What's the reason?
435
00:28:21,125 --> 00:28:22,500
One of the possible scenarios is that
436
00:28:23,625 --> 00:28:27,917
the ship was stuck on a rock
and it ripped a hole in the hull.
437
00:28:27,917 --> 00:28:33,875
Water flowed into the vessel through the hole.
Then, it was capsized and finally sunk.
438
00:28:33,875 --> 00:28:34,958
The other scenario is that
439
00:28:34,958 --> 00:28:37,083
a sharp turn was made and the ship canted.
440
00:28:37,083 --> 00:28:45,875
The restoring force was lessened
and the ferry capsized and then sank.
441
00:28:46,375 --> 00:28:52,417
A vessel does not capsize so fast.
442
00:28:52,958 --> 00:28:58,000
If we think about
why did the ferry capsize that fast,
443
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,333
without any evidence or assumption,
444
00:29:02,917 --> 00:29:08,708
the possible cause will be the ship was stranded
and it left a big hole in the hull.
445
00:29:08,708 --> 00:29:12,667
But the fishermen said
there are no submerged rocks
446
00:29:12,667 --> 00:29:15,292
and there is so much mud in the sea water.
447
00:29:15,292 --> 00:29:17,542
Then, what's the real cause of this accident?
448
00:29:17,542 --> 00:29:20,875
For some reason, the vessel canted.
449
00:29:20,875 --> 00:29:22,958
Let's assume that the cause was veering.
450
00:29:22,958 --> 00:29:25,667
Usually, when a sudden, sharp turn was made,
451
00:29:25,667 --> 00:29:29,208
the ship will strike a balance again
by restoring force.
452
00:29:29,208 --> 00:29:33,042
People didn't think of
the possibility of the ferry's overloading.
453
00:29:33,042 --> 00:29:37,417
Worse yet, the interior structure of
the vessel was quite dangerous
454
00:29:37,417 --> 00:29:42,792
because of the excessive renovation,
leaving the overloading issue aside.
455
00:29:42,792 --> 00:29:46,667
People believed that
456
00:29:46,667 --> 00:29:50,333
the crew members were experts, at least.
457
00:29:50,333 --> 00:29:53,875
A complicated, engineered system
458
00:29:53,875 --> 00:29:55,875
has its factor of safety,
459
00:29:55,875 --> 00:29:59,458
which describes the capacity of a system
beyond the expected loads or actual loads.
460
00:29:59,458 --> 00:30:01,542
Even if the system can tolerate the force of 100,
461
00:30:01,542 --> 00:30:11,542
the additional margin needs
to be considered for safety.
462
00:30:12,292 --> 00:30:18,167
The safety factor is taken into account
for the relevant regulation of Korea.
463
00:30:18,167 --> 00:30:25,708
So even if a vessel is loaded slightly more cargos
than the regulation, it won't capsize.
464
00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:29,292
The safety factor is set up,
465
00:30:29,292 --> 00:30:34,125
considering various uncertainties from nature,
466
00:30:34,125 --> 00:30:35,833
such as wave, wind, and others.
467
00:30:35,833 --> 00:30:41,083
The safety was given the top priority,
468
00:30:41,083 --> 00:30:43,625
of course, and the economic feasibility
is also considered.
469
00:30:43,625 --> 00:30:50,583
If this is renovated, nothing can be better.
470
00:30:50,583 --> 00:30:57,333
When building a ship,
the optimal conditions are realized.
471
00:30:57,333 --> 00:31:00,875
If the structure of the ship
is modified after the building,
472
00:31:02,083 --> 00:31:06,125
it will be a change for worse,
473
00:31:06,125 --> 00:31:09,208
in particular, in terms of safety.
474
00:31:09,208 --> 00:31:13,417
The ship was extended and the extension
raised the center of gravity.
475
00:31:13,417 --> 00:31:17,125
Regarding this, I watched and read
various testimonies from the media,
476
00:31:17,125 --> 00:31:19,542
for example, the ship rocked
477
00:31:19,542 --> 00:31:22,750
from side to side before sailing,
478
00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:29,250
even when it was anchored at the dock,
in the wind.
479
00:31:29,250 --> 00:31:35,167
It shows the lack of restoring force,
480
00:31:35,167 --> 00:31:40,875
if the vessel rolled and pitched heavily.
481
00:31:43,750 --> 00:31:47,250
If the ship was stable enough,
482
00:31:47,250 --> 00:31:49,125
it would be restored.
483
00:31:49,125 --> 00:31:52,458
But when the stability is compromised,
484
00:31:52,458 --> 00:31:55,167
the vessel cannot be restored from tilted position
485
00:31:55,167 --> 00:31:57,542
and will capsize.
486
00:31:58,083 --> 00:32:03,792
Even if the force of listing caused
by a sudden veering
487
00:32:03,792 --> 00:32:07,500
was the same with other vessels,
Sewol would list slightly more than others.
488
00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:11,833
The impact will be bigger when the fist is pulled,
489
00:32:11,833 --> 00:32:15,750
compared to the motionless situation.
490
00:32:16,667 --> 00:32:21,250
So, we assume that when the vessel listed
and then bounced back, to make matters worse,
491
00:32:21,250 --> 00:32:28,833
the lashing devices were loosened
and the ship turned upside down.
492
00:32:28,833 --> 00:32:36,125
We conducted two experiments
to prove this hypothesis.
493
00:32:36,583 --> 00:32:40,333
When all the weights were tied up in the vessel,
494
00:32:41,625 --> 00:32:46,375
it did not capsize despite yawing.
495
00:32:47,292 --> 00:32:53,250
In the second experiment,
we used cylindrical weights.
496
00:32:53,250 --> 00:32:58,125
When we tied the weights to the ship,
we put the brakes on sub-motor;
497
00:32:58,125 --> 00:33:00,500
and we didn't loosen the lash,
we realized the brakes.
498
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:05,875
Then the model vessel canted
and turned upside down,
499
00:33:05,875 --> 00:33:09,917
according to our qualitative experiment.
500
00:33:09,917 --> 00:33:15,333
In case of ferry like Sewol, in particular,
501
00:33:15,333 --> 00:33:18,667
heavy cargos,
502
00:33:19,208 --> 00:33:24,542
such as beverage for passengers and fuel,
503
00:33:24,542 --> 00:33:26,125
are loaded at the bottom
504
00:33:26,125 --> 00:33:30,917
of the hull on departure.
505
00:33:30,917 --> 00:33:36,375
During sailing, these beverage
and fuel will decrease.
506
00:33:36,375 --> 00:33:42,542
Then, "ballast" water should be loaded.
507
00:33:42,542 --> 00:33:45,750
The ballast water is for nothing.
508
00:33:45,750 --> 00:33:51,208
Even if the water is discharged from the vessel,
509
00:33:51,208 --> 00:33:54,000
it will not make any profits.
510
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,125
It is actually a dead cargo.
511
00:33:56,125 --> 00:34:03,500
However, the ballast water needs to be loaded
for the safety and restoring force of vessel.
512
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:05,250
Although there are regulations
on loading ballast water,
513
00:34:05,250 --> 00:34:08,083
the operators emptied it
514
00:34:08,083 --> 00:34:11,125
in order to compensate
515
00:34:11,125 --> 00:34:13,583
for the overloading of cargos and passengers
516
00:34:13,583 --> 00:34:15,375
that bring about profits.
517
00:34:15,875 --> 00:34:17,625
They carelessly thought that
518
00:34:17,625 --> 00:34:20,042
it would be OK
519
00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:22,667
despite the serious rocking of the ferry.
520
00:34:22,667 --> 00:34:27,458
I think the cause of the disaster was that
521
00:34:27,458 --> 00:34:31,500
the vessel was overloaded
with cars and passengers.
522
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:38,417
In my opinion, the worker in charge of
safety inspection might know about the problem.
523
00:34:38,417 --> 00:34:48,042
And the workers at the shipyard
for the ship's renovation might know that,
524
00:34:48,042 --> 00:34:51,583
the extension would deal a heavy blow to
the restoring force of the ship.
525
00:34:51,583 --> 00:34:54,667
Everybody knew that, but nobody could tell.
526
00:34:55,292 --> 00:34:57,167
Different from land traffic,
527
00:34:57,167 --> 00:35:00,292
vessels do not have any traffic jam and it takes
always the same time to make a voyage.
528
00:35:00,833 --> 00:35:05,500
The income from sailing
529
00:35:06,250 --> 00:35:10,083
differs depending on the amount of loaded cargo.
530
00:35:10,792 --> 00:35:17,125
Therefore, if the sailors abide by the regulation
on cargo loading and number of passengers,
531
00:35:17,875 --> 00:35:26,750
considering the restoring force and safety,
532
00:35:26,750 --> 00:35:29,625
the revenue will decrease.
533
00:35:32,417 --> 00:35:35,792
It is the first officer's duty
534
00:35:35,792 --> 00:35:39,625
to lash down the cargos tightly in the vessel.
535
00:35:39,625 --> 00:35:43,333
However, it requires time, equipment,
536
00:35:43,333 --> 00:35:47,875
workforce, and money to tie down them.
537
00:35:48,417 --> 00:35:53,833
The first officer must keep the ship at bay
538
00:35:53,833 --> 00:35:56,708
when the cargos are poorly held,
539
00:35:56,708 --> 00:35:57,917
but he couldn't,
540
00:35:57,917 --> 00:36:00,542
as his company would earn less
541
00:36:00,542 --> 00:36:03,083
if the vessel could not depart on time.
542
00:36:04,125 --> 00:36:06,208
The captain of the ferry
had a telephone communication
543
00:36:06,208 --> 00:36:08,042
with the Cheonghaejin Marine Company
for 28 minutes.
544
00:36:08,042 --> 00:36:09,750
I was disappointed
545
00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:12,333
at the news reports on the phone call
546
00:36:12,333 --> 00:36:15,625
because it is reported that
they just talked about the insurance coverage,
547
00:36:15,625 --> 00:36:19,875
the cargos,
and the plan to cover up the overloading;
548
00:36:19,875 --> 00:36:22,542
they didn't talked about
549
00:36:22,542 --> 00:36:26,083
how urgent the 300 passengers
and their surrounding situation was.
550
00:36:26,083 --> 00:36:29,000
Cheonghaejin tried to reduce the cargo
551
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,333
so that the overloading would be concealed.
552
00:36:33,250 --> 00:36:36,083
When the high-ranking officials retire
553
00:36:36,083 --> 00:36:45,417
from the government agencies that
have the supervision authority,
554
00:36:46,792 --> 00:36:49,833
they are employed as executives,
or chief directors,
555
00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:56,333
of various groups that
are directly connected to shipping companies.
556
00:36:56,333 --> 00:37:02,417
This creates connections between regulating body
557
00:37:02,417 --> 00:37:04,458
and regulated institutions.
558
00:37:04,458 --> 00:37:13,542
They just turn a blind eye
to the wrongdoing with each other.
559
00:37:16,667 --> 00:37:22,208
The seafarers act and the ship safety act
have very light rules of punishment.
560
00:37:22,208 --> 00:37:23,958
Mostly fines
561
00:37:23,958 --> 00:37:25,000
and penalties under 2 million KRW.
562
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,042
Even in case of the violation of captain's duty
to stay in ship,
563
00:37:28,042 --> 00:37:30,542
the penalty will be under 5 million KRW.
564
00:37:30,542 --> 00:37:34,125
In case of loose lashing,
penalty under 2 million KRW,
565
00:37:34,125 --> 00:37:39,167
in case of excessive number of passengers,
which is critical, and violation of load-line mark,
566
00:37:39,167 --> 00:37:41,833
which refers to the legal limit
to which a ship may be loaded
567
00:37:41,833 --> 00:37:48,042
in order to safely maintain buoyancy,
568
00:37:48,042 --> 00:37:50,667
the violator will be sentenced to only a year.
569
00:37:50,667 --> 00:37:51,667
It's just a slap on the wrist.
570
00:37:52,292 --> 00:37:55,292
People found it OK
571
00:37:55,292 --> 00:38:01,917
to violate the regulations.
572
00:38:01,917 --> 00:38:09,542
Then, they repeated the violations.
573
00:38:09,542 --> 00:38:10,417
No one stopped them.
574
00:38:10,417 --> 00:38:13,875
The complacency was prevailing in our society.
575
00:38:13,875 --> 00:38:19,083
The followers tend to move
576
00:38:19,083 --> 00:38:22,458
in accordance with the behavior of leader,
577
00:38:22,458 --> 00:38:26,208
depending on the role that the leader plays.
578
00:38:26,208 --> 00:38:28,250
In other words, a leader plays a crucial role
for an organization.
579
00:38:28,250 --> 00:38:34,542
In the case of Sewol, the captain ignored
580
00:38:34,542 --> 00:38:38,208
the safety of passengers to sustain his life
581
00:38:38,208 --> 00:38:42,625
and a tacit agreement existed
between the captain and crewmen.
582
00:38:42,625 --> 00:38:47,333
We can't even imagine that a captain of the ferry
that accommodates hundreds of passengers
583
00:38:47,333 --> 00:38:52,375
is an irregular, temporary worker.
584
00:38:52,375 --> 00:38:55,500
It doesn't make sense.
585
00:38:58,333 --> 00:39:00,625
They hired irregular workers
not to pay retirement grants,
586
00:39:00,625 --> 00:39:03,042
up to salary for 30 days,
587
00:39:03,042 --> 00:39:05,917
when a crewman has worked for more than a year.
588
00:39:05,917 --> 00:39:09,250
So, the company employed temporary workers
on short-term contract basis.
589
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:13,458
The number of Sewol's irregular workers was 15,
about 50 percent.
590
00:39:13,458 --> 00:39:20,583
More shockingly, it turned out recently
that part timers were not listed.
591
00:39:20,583 --> 00:39:22,667
There were four more part times.
592
00:39:22,667 --> 00:39:29,042
In total, the number of crewmen was 33,
593
00:39:29,042 --> 00:39:31,875
including temporary part timers,
and the number of irregular workers stood at 19,
594
00:39:31,875 --> 00:39:34,875
approximately 60%,
595
00:39:34,875 --> 00:39:38,292
as revealed in the investigation held
by the National Assembly.
596
00:39:39,042 --> 00:39:44,917
The head of the Coast Guard was replaced
with the launch of the incumbent government.
597
00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:48,167
Not only the head,
598
00:39:48,167 --> 00:39:52,542
but also the high-ranking officials of
the body have never been a captain
599
00:39:52,542 --> 00:39:58,583
because they were former land policemen.
600
00:39:58,583 --> 00:40:02,583
The administration does not cultivate experts.
601
00:40:02,583 --> 00:40:07,333
Job rotation system is used at the government,
602
00:40:07,333 --> 00:40:13,417
out of concerns about staying in an easy position
for a long time.
603
00:40:13,417 --> 00:40:20,208
Most officials have to leave their position once
in a while
604
00:40:20,208 --> 00:40:22,667
and no official can build specialty.
605
00:40:22,667 --> 00:40:28,625
At least, those who have experience of disasters
should be put in the positions
606
00:40:28,625 --> 00:40:33,250
that make decision in disastrous emergencies.
607
00:40:33,250 --> 00:40:34,750
But this is not the case.
608
00:40:35,667 --> 00:40:38,250
The government system is not for fostering experts.
609
00:40:38,250 --> 00:40:42,542
The state exists to serve
and protect the people's lives and safety.
610
00:40:42,542 --> 00:40:46,167
This should be given the top priority.
611
00:40:46,167 --> 00:40:51,042
But the Coast Guard, a governmental agency
612
00:40:51,042 --> 00:40:54,250
that was obliged to protect the lives
and safety of Koreans,
613
00:40:54,250 --> 00:40:55,792
failed to carry out its responsibility.
614
00:40:55,792 --> 00:41:02,250
Given that it is a governmental organization,
615
00:41:02,250 --> 00:41:05,750
it is no exaggeration to say that the state failed
in fulfilling its obligations.
616
00:41:08,792 --> 00:41:11,333
When the truth comes out,
617
00:41:11,333 --> 00:41:16,250
the people demand more actions
than they would have, otherwise.
618
00:41:16,250 --> 00:41:20,375
And sometimes the government
exaggerates its response,
619
00:41:20,375 --> 00:41:22,250
to try to calm the people.
620
00:41:22,250 --> 00:41:26,125
For example, it might disband
the entire Coast Guard.
621
00:41:29,750 --> 00:41:33,833
If the response initially had been better,
622
00:41:33,833 --> 00:41:36,542
you might not have seen the Coast Guard disbanded.
623
00:41:36,542 --> 00:41:43,792
That just seems to me to be a way
to calm very angry people.
624
00:41:46,208 --> 00:41:49,625
They would disband school,
if the school violence were to be rampant.
625
00:41:50,708 --> 00:41:54,250
This is exactly in the same context
with disbandment of the Coast Guard.
626
00:41:54,250 --> 00:41:58,250
However, it isn't true that
the school trip triggered the disaster.
627
00:41:58,250 --> 00:41:59,625
This is the same old story
in the Korean education system.
628
00:41:59,625 --> 00:42:00,542
When faced with a problem,
629
00:42:00,542 --> 00:42:02,792
the authorities say it will be addressed
630
00:42:02,792 --> 00:42:05,958
when an additional subject is established,
631
00:42:05,958 --> 00:42:12,333
such as vocation, safety, and software.
632
00:42:12,333 --> 00:42:17,708
It seems that they regard the existing subjects
to be useless.
633
00:42:18,333 --> 00:42:22,333
The curriculum of public education should embrace
634
00:42:22,333 --> 00:42:24,417
all the necessary content.
That's the basic idea of public education.
635
00:42:24,417 --> 00:42:26,875
Even if a subject for safety is introduced,
636
00:42:26,875 --> 00:42:30,417
no one will study as the grade of the subject
637
00:42:30,417 --> 00:42:31,667
isn't required for college entrance.
638
00:42:31,667 --> 00:42:36,250
There certainly is a reason that
639
00:42:36,250 --> 00:42:37,292
this kind of man-made tragedies,
640
00:42:37,292 --> 00:42:39,750
such as the collapse of Sampoong Department Store
in 1995
641
00:42:39,750 --> 00:42:41,917
and the Daegu subway fire in 2003.
642
00:42:41,917 --> 00:42:45,208
Earlier this year,
lots of college students were killed
643
00:42:45,208 --> 00:42:47,500
by the collapse of Mauna Ocean Resort.
644
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:50,833
This kind of accidents occur continuously,
and everything happens for a reason.
645
00:43:02,292 --> 00:43:08,458
I frequently take a day-off from work
and get early leaves.
646
00:43:08,875 --> 00:43:12,667
I can't focus on work.
647
00:43:13,375 --> 00:43:17,125
I can't get the accident out of my head,
648
00:43:17,500 --> 00:43:18,875
even in the workplace.
649
00:43:20,125 --> 00:43:27,917
I had run a business with a partner
for more than 20 years.
650
00:43:29,542 --> 00:43:33,625
Suddenly, the accident took place
651
00:43:33,625 --> 00:43:38,958
and I had to leave the office often
for the Sewol issue.
652
00:43:39,667 --> 00:43:46,958
One day, my partner told me that
he would do it alone,
653
00:43:46,958 --> 00:43:49,500
just unilaterally.
654
00:43:50,917 --> 00:43:53,833
At the bottom of this psychology
is the feelings of guilt that
655
00:43:53,833 --> 00:43:55,458
they could not protect the beloved ones.
656
00:43:55,458 --> 00:44:01,167
This leads them to do their best to find truth.
657
00:44:01,167 --> 00:44:08,583
The exert efforts for honor
and reputation of their family's death.
658
00:44:08,583 --> 00:44:11,542
Due to financial difficulties,
659
00:44:12,458 --> 00:44:16,125
she wasn't brought up in affluence.
660
00:44:16,708 --> 00:44:23,625
I wish I had raised her up
in affluent circumstances.
661
00:44:23,625 --> 00:44:27,292
I'm so sorry that
662
00:44:29,833 --> 00:44:32,625
I could not spend lots of time with my daughter
663
00:44:34,708 --> 00:44:37,292
because I was busy.
664
00:44:39,208 --> 00:44:42,958
You know, if your kid doesn't get good grades,
665
00:44:44,833 --> 00:44:47,542
it does not necessarily mean that
you don't have to support her.
666
00:44:48,083 --> 00:44:52,000
Both top students and slow students
require parents' support.
667
00:44:52,333 --> 00:44:55,500
That's the role of parent. But I couldn't do that.
668
00:45:07,500 --> 00:45:11,417
The media companies discussed
on the direction of follow-up reports.
669
00:45:12,417 --> 00:45:15,708
Some said now was the time
to quit reporting on Sewol.
670
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:23,208
No more headlines would come out of it.
671
00:45:23,208 --> 00:45:25,125
They knew that the stories of the Sewol ferry
only made people lethargic.
672
00:45:25,125 --> 00:45:28,500
They turned their eyes to Byeong-eun Yoo,
673
00:45:28,875 --> 00:45:31,333
the owner of Cheonghaejin.
674
00:45:31,333 --> 00:45:33,083
The story is very exciting;
a rich man with a hidden fortune made many died
675
00:45:33,083 --> 00:45:35,833
and now was running away in disguise.
676
00:45:35,833 --> 00:45:37,583
It seemed just like a mystery novel
677
00:45:37,583 --> 00:45:40,375
and was appealing to the stimulus-craving public.
678
00:45:40,375 --> 00:45:42,083
Some news outlets quit reporting on Sewol
679
00:45:42,083 --> 00:45:45,583
and others kept reporting,
680
00:45:46,167 --> 00:45:48,542
as the story could draw attention
from the public quite easily.
681
00:45:48,917 --> 00:45:52,208
There's a tendency that happens occasionally,
682
00:45:52,208 --> 00:45:57,875
based on the media outlet's perception that
there's extreme interest in the story.
683
00:45:57,875 --> 00:46:01,458
By keeping it alive, for better or worse,
684
00:46:01,458 --> 00:46:07,000
actually continues to draw viewers,
readers, or listeners.
685
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,167
The media outlets, except for the cases
686
00:46:10,167 --> 00:46:14,125
of national public radio and television,
are businesses.
687
00:46:14,125 --> 00:46:15,750
their goal is to make money.
688
00:46:16,583 --> 00:46:20,250
Their goal is also to do as best as they can
689
00:46:20,250 --> 00:46:23,167
and hopefully that will make money.
690
00:46:23,167 --> 00:46:26,250
The news companies are dominated by owners
691
00:46:26,250 --> 00:46:29,042
and the owners have connection with the powerful.
692
00:46:29,042 --> 00:46:32,542
Faced with the dog-eat-dog competition,
693
00:46:32,542 --> 00:46:37,875
the media owners just were preoccupied
694
00:46:37,875 --> 00:46:40,708
with the profit-oriented mindset for survival.
695
00:46:40,708 --> 00:46:42,833
What's important is that
696
00:46:42,833 --> 00:46:49,542
we tried to find someone responsible
for Sewol's sinking.
697
00:46:49,542 --> 00:46:52,000
And we found Byeong-eun Yoo.
698
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,917
However, while we just focused on Byeong-eun Yoo,
699
00:46:54,917 --> 00:47:02,958
the interest in the truth of the Sewol disaster
was a bit dwindled.
700
00:47:02,958 --> 00:47:05,708
When the Founding Fathers of this country
701
00:47:05,708 --> 00:47:07,875
put in place the first amendment,
702
00:47:07,875 --> 00:47:12,708
they didn't have in mind
the coverage of Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan;
703
00:47:12,708 --> 00:47:17,292
they had in mind creating
the nexus of eyes and ears to keep a close watch
704
00:47:17,292 --> 00:47:21,542
on the government, on business,
and on big institutions.
705
00:47:26,792 --> 00:47:29,375
The problem was that we'd never learned about
706
00:47:29,375 --> 00:47:30,583
how to deal with this.
707
00:47:31,917 --> 00:47:35,667
After my broadcasting schedule was done on the day
the Sewol disaster happened,
708
00:47:35,667 --> 00:47:38,208
I browsed the books that I studied.
709
00:47:38,208 --> 00:47:42,625
They are foreign books translated into Korean.
710
00:47:42,625 --> 00:47:46,000
In there, all were explained.
711
00:47:46,458 --> 00:47:52,083
The goal is the same.
Look beneath the surface of story,
712
00:47:52,083 --> 00:47:57,708
as to what could the powerful
have done to prevent this
713
00:47:57,708 --> 00:47:59,625
or what could the powerful be doing
714
00:47:59,625 --> 00:48:02,708
to make this work out better
for those who are being impacted.
715
00:48:02,708 --> 00:48:08,125
The media companies are blinded
by the excessive competition.
716
00:48:08,125 --> 00:48:14,292
Serving the common good
717
00:48:14,292 --> 00:48:17,167
isn't given the top priority.
718
00:48:17,167 --> 00:48:18,917
So focus on the "Why" questions.
719
00:48:18,917 --> 00:48:21,000
"Why did something happen?"
720
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:25,167
What did the government not do that
should have done to protect people,
721
00:48:25,792 --> 00:48:30,042
what is it doing to make sure that
if it takes disaster like an earthquake
722
00:48:30,042 --> 00:48:35,750
what are the authorities, people on power,
doing to make sure that the aid
723
00:48:35,750 --> 00:48:39,250
and the money and the food get to the right people
724
00:48:39,250 --> 00:48:43,167
so there would be no siphoning off of resources,
725
00:48:43,167 --> 00:48:46,708
what is something to be done ahead of time
to make sure that
726
00:48:46,708 --> 00:48:49,917
prevent the large numbers of people
from being killed.
727
00:48:49,917 --> 00:48:51,542
Most of the media outlets
didn't cover the story at the scene
728
00:48:51,542 --> 00:48:54,583
and they just used the pool reports came out
from the countermeasure headquarters.
729
00:48:54,583 --> 00:48:57,917
This created lots of incorrect reports.
730
00:48:57,917 --> 00:49:01,667
The governmental agencies distributed the news
731
00:49:01,667 --> 00:49:06,792
by calling the top management of news media.
732
00:49:06,792 --> 00:49:12,000
This is the organizational contradiction
of the Korean news media.
733
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,708
I guess this was the case
with the news coverage regarding the Sewol ferry.
734
00:49:16,583 --> 00:49:21,250
The government tries to influence
what the media covers, all the time.
735
00:49:21,625 --> 00:49:24,958
We use the government to get story ideas.
736
00:49:24,958 --> 00:49:27,667
We develop sources, using them to get stories
737
00:49:27,667 --> 00:49:30,292
on the newspaper, television, and the web sites.
738
00:49:31,083 --> 00:49:34,042
And they are using you because
they want to deliver a certain message out,
739
00:49:34,042 --> 00:49:38,667
to kill a certain bill, again,
to derail somebody's career,
740
00:49:38,667 --> 00:49:41,167
to help somebody's career,
depending on what their motive is.
741
00:49:41,167 --> 00:49:45,625
So, again, their relationships are complicated
742
00:49:45,625 --> 00:49:49,917
because it's not totally what it seems
on the surface, sometimes.
743
00:49:49,917 --> 00:49:55,833
When I began my career in journalism,
744
00:49:55,833 --> 00:49:58,375
those from the Student National Defence Corps,
745
00:49:58,375 --> 00:50:03,375
the government-patronized
student council of the time,
746
00:50:03,375 --> 00:50:06,833
or the college media that were also controlled
747
00:50:06,833 --> 00:50:09,625
by the government
748
00:50:09,625 --> 00:50:13,917
could get into the media outlets
749
00:50:13,917 --> 00:50:16,500
as reporters or producers
750
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:18,167
through special employment program.
751
00:50:18,167 --> 00:50:21,708
At that time, those who collaborated
with the military dictatorship
752
00:50:21,708 --> 00:50:24,167
could get a job in the media.
753
00:50:24,167 --> 00:50:28,250
Many of the top management
of big broadcasting companies,
754
00:50:28,250 --> 00:50:30,208
for instance, KBS and MBC,
755
00:50:30,208 --> 00:50:32,167
are the people specially employed.
756
00:50:32,792 --> 00:50:35,667
So, structurally,
757
00:50:36,333 --> 00:50:40,292
the press of Korea
has been under control of the government.
758
00:50:40,292 --> 00:50:43,583
You want the press to be independent,
759
00:50:43,583 --> 00:50:48,208
you want it to be aggressive,
you want it to be vigilant,
760
00:50:48,208 --> 00:50:54,292
you want it to keep an eye on the government,
the power, and corporations in individuals.
761
00:50:54,292 --> 00:51:00,417
It's supposed to provide a voice
for people who don't have a voice.
762
00:51:02,542 --> 00:51:04,917
To be what we called the fourth estate,
763
00:51:04,917 --> 00:51:11,167
so that sometimes, the government
isn't capable of watching over itself,
764
00:51:11,167 --> 00:51:14,917
and then it needs an outside eye
and we provide that.
765
00:51:14,917 --> 00:51:16,167
And there's an example.
766
00:51:16,167 --> 00:51:19,292
I think that speaks volumes about
767
00:51:19,292 --> 00:51:24,417
why we don't see the same kinds of harassment
768
00:51:24,417 --> 00:51:28,875
and the hardships of reporters across the globe,
769
00:51:28,875 --> 00:51:31,500
why we don't see that here in this country.
770
00:51:31,500 --> 00:51:37,042
In 1977, a reporter named Don Bolles
was working in Arizona,
771
00:51:37,042 --> 00:51:40,250
uncovering corruption in Arizona.
772
00:51:40,250 --> 00:51:45,792
Organized crime figures killed him;
they blew up his car and he died.
773
00:51:45,792 --> 00:51:48,042
A group of journalists across this country
774
00:51:48,042 --> 00:51:51,792
got together and descended upon Arizona.
775
00:51:51,792 --> 00:51:54,167
They finished Don Bolles' work
776
00:51:54,167 --> 00:51:57,292
and they did bring his killers in justice.
777
00:51:57,292 --> 00:52:01,125
What they did send was incredibly powerful message.
778
00:52:01,125 --> 00:52:08,000
To people who think about killing journalists
779
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,833
or squelching what they are doing.
780
00:52:10,542 --> 00:52:14,833
And that message is "You can stop maybe one of us,
781
00:52:14,833 --> 00:52:16,542
but you can't stop all of us."
782
00:52:17,125 --> 00:52:20,208
This is an example I always speak
in countries around the world
783
00:52:20,208 --> 00:52:22,375
where in fact there is no freedom of the press.
784
00:52:22,750 --> 00:52:27,167
The press needs to be overhauled.
785
00:52:27,167 --> 00:52:29,750
To this end, readers must send
written protest via e-mail on false reports,
786
00:52:29,750 --> 00:52:30,875
visit the newspaper company,
787
00:52:31,333 --> 00:52:33,125
and send complaint letters to the desk editor
788
00:52:33,125 --> 00:52:35,958
and editor in chief.
789
00:52:35,958 --> 00:52:39,458
In advanced countries,
790
00:52:39,458 --> 00:52:46,875
readers even write a replacement article
791
00:52:46,875 --> 00:52:50,042
and send it to the reporter
who made incorrect coverage.
792
00:52:50,042 --> 00:52:52,167
The readers send a silent protest that implies
"Even a reader can write an article.
793
00:52:52,167 --> 00:52:57,375
Why can't you do this,
a professional journalist?"
794
00:52:58,500 --> 00:53:02,292
It is the most painful experience for human beings
to tolerate the death of family,
795
00:53:02,292 --> 00:53:04,208
in particular, their child.
796
00:53:04,208 --> 00:53:07,208
If their child died like that,
they would do the same.
797
00:53:07,208 --> 00:53:18,458
But some say the bereaved families make bad use
of the Sewol disaster politically,
798
00:53:18,458 --> 00:53:19,750
for their own interests.
799
00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:24,000
No one can do that when their children died.
800
00:53:28,417 --> 00:53:30,875
As time went by, unfortunately,
the disaster turned into
801
00:53:30,875 --> 00:53:33,375
a political showdown between the opposition party
802
00:53:33,375 --> 00:53:36,958
that attempted to
politically utilize the situation
803
00:53:36,958 --> 00:53:41,083
and the ruling party
that wanted to defend themselves.
804
00:53:41,083 --> 00:53:44,500
Whether the Sewol special act would be enacted
805
00:53:44,500 --> 00:53:47,917
became the one and only issue, after all.
806
00:53:52,875 --> 00:53:55,833
Actually, I don't care about politics.
807
00:53:55,833 --> 00:53:57,542
I don't know well about what the opposition
and the ruling parties mean.
808
00:53:58,292 --> 00:54:06,042
I just want to know how come the kids died.
809
00:54:06,042 --> 00:54:07,500
I read a lot of negative comments on the Internet.
810
00:54:08,667 --> 00:54:12,375
They say we want compensation.
811
00:54:12,375 --> 00:54:18,167
Some say we've already obtained
a large compensation.
812
00:54:18,583 --> 00:54:21,000
But you know what?
813
00:54:22,375 --> 00:54:23,792
we've never received compensation.
814
00:54:23,792 --> 00:54:25,958
Rumor has it that the family
received 500 million KRW or whatever.
815
00:54:25,958 --> 00:54:30,625
I don't give a damn.
I won't be bothered at all on the rumor.
816
00:54:38,958 --> 00:54:42,917
I don't care about the guys who think
817
00:54:44,125 --> 00:54:46,708
the families can make money
by using their dead children.
818
00:54:47,875 --> 00:54:50,792
Some say you can get compensation.
819
00:54:50,792 --> 00:54:52,542
No, I won't.
820
00:54:52,542 --> 00:54:54,792
What the... I'll rather pay out a fortune
821
00:54:54,792 --> 00:54:59,125
if someone raise my son
from the dead and take him to me.
822
00:55:01,042 --> 00:55:08,667
I think the Koreans sympathize
with the pain of the bereaved
823
00:55:08,667 --> 00:55:10,875
of the Sewol disaster.
824
00:55:10,875 --> 00:55:12,167
But there are someone who says
825
00:55:12,167 --> 00:55:16,500
they are fed up with the Sewol news
and tries to turn a blind eye to it.
826
00:55:16,500 --> 00:55:18,750
In fact, they want to escape from the pain.
827
00:55:18,750 --> 00:55:22,500
They use the evasive speech
828
00:55:22,500 --> 00:55:25,917
and they say the Sewol ferry disaster
829
00:55:25,917 --> 00:55:33,083
drags the politics and economy down.
830
00:55:33,083 --> 00:55:35,708
This is never helpful
831
00:55:35,708 --> 00:55:37,417
for addressing this issue.
832
00:55:57,917 --> 00:55:59,875
It's 20/20 hindsight,
833
00:55:59,875 --> 00:56:06,833
but I would like to underscore that
the renovation on vessel needs,
834
00:56:06,833 --> 00:56:09,292
although it's not illegal,
835
00:56:09,958 --> 00:56:14,667
to be very careful.
836
00:56:14,667 --> 00:56:25,458
And I'm also worried that the Sewol ferry
would not be the only one
837
00:56:25,458 --> 00:56:35,417
that reduced ballast water for overloading.
838
00:56:36,583 --> 00:56:39,167
Not all societies were advanced ones
from their beginning.
839
00:56:39,167 --> 00:56:44,333
Back in 1870s, even the U. S. was chaotic.
840
00:56:44,333 --> 00:56:49,958
A fire broke out in a building in New York,
841
00:56:49,958 --> 00:56:52,000
many female workers died,
842
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,833
as someone locked the door.
843
00:56:54,833 --> 00:56:56,333
In the aftermath of the disaster,
844
00:56:56,333 --> 00:56:59,708
a bill that made it an obligation
not to lock the door was enacted.
845
00:56:59,708 --> 00:57:01,875
And there was a fire in a department store
846
00:57:01,875 --> 00:57:03,917
and it killed many people
847
00:57:03,917 --> 00:57:05,042
as the revolving door did not open.
848
00:57:05,042 --> 00:57:08,583
Then the regulation, which an extra door
should be installed next to revolving door
849
00:57:08,583 --> 00:57:11,167
and it must be open all the time, was made,
850
00:57:11,167 --> 00:57:15,458
We should review the framework of humanism
851
00:57:15,458 --> 00:57:17,667
that takes life seriously.
852
00:57:20,250 --> 00:57:21,917
The life is a thing of the prime importance.
853
00:57:21,917 --> 00:57:31,250
We won't be happy unless life is guaranteed,
854
00:57:31,250 --> 00:57:35,583
no matter how rich we are.
855
00:57:35,583 --> 00:57:40,292
Without life, we are not happy at all.
856
00:57:40,292 --> 00:57:41,917
Under the situation that democratic control
857
00:57:41,917 --> 00:57:43,875
and reinforcement of citizenship
858
00:57:43,875 --> 00:57:47,833
are not yet to realized, all distribution,
859
00:57:47,833 --> 00:57:52,875
including distribution of resources,
are deviated sharply,
860
00:57:52,875 --> 00:57:58,208
unless we can trust each other to be fair.
861
00:57:58,208 --> 00:58:05,500
Then, everyone does not abide by the rules.
862
00:58:06,125 --> 00:58:08,792
Shocking accidents are happening one right
after another
863
00:58:08,792 --> 00:58:14,125
and now we have a callous attitude
toward the suffering of others.
864
00:58:14,125 --> 00:58:18,333
Only a large scale accident,
as shocking and tragic as Sewol,
865
00:58:18,333 --> 00:58:20,333
can whip up our interest.
866
00:58:20,333 --> 00:58:22,167
This can be really formidable,
867
00:58:22,167 --> 00:58:23,958
given that this can worsen
the ignorance of safety.
868
00:58:23,958 --> 00:58:28,750
Therefore, when an accident takes place,
869
00:58:28,750 --> 00:58:30,417
like the national improvement
that the president said,
870
00:58:30,417 --> 00:58:33,875
we have to make a drastic and fundamental change.
871
00:58:34,417 --> 00:58:35,875
If the countermeasures are fizzled out
872
00:58:35,875 --> 00:58:38,042
without actual effect,
873
00:58:38,042 --> 00:58:39,750
people will think "it remains the same,"
874
00:58:39,750 --> 00:58:42,125
the distrust will be deepened,
875
00:58:42,125 --> 00:58:44,917
and the insensitivity towards safety
will not be rooted out.
876
00:58:44,917 --> 00:58:51,792
The words of "Stay put"
killed approximately 300 people
877
00:58:51,792 --> 00:58:54,333
in the Sewol ferry disaster.
878
00:58:54,333 --> 00:58:57,000
Furthermore,
879
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,458
it has connotations
for the Korean society as a whole.
880
00:59:01,458 --> 00:59:04,958
There should be the deeply rooted cause that
makes the issues,
881
00:59:04,958 --> 00:59:07,708
which were exposed through the Sewol disaster,
repeatedly arise.
882
00:59:07,708 --> 00:59:10,542
Then, in order to eradicate the cause,
883
00:59:10,542 --> 00:59:12,583
we should not stay put.
884
00:59:12,583 --> 00:59:18,083
We should move to make changes.
885
00:59:18,083 --> 00:59:21,625
Post-Sewol Korea should be
a completely different nation from pre-Sewol Korea.
886
00:59:36,500 --> 00:59:38,167
I want to give her a big hug.
887
00:59:41,500 --> 00:59:44,667
She is a good girl smiling in memories
888
00:59:44,667 --> 00:59:46,500
but not a type of daddy's little girl.
889
00:59:51,500 --> 00:59:55,750
When she was younger, she kissed me on the cheek.
890
00:59:55,750 --> 00:59:58,292
But now she thought
she was too old to kiss her parents.
891
00:59:58,292 --> 01:00:02,208
"Why don't you kiss your daddy on the cheek?"
892
01:00:02,208 --> 01:00:05,792
Then she reluctantly kissed me.
893
01:00:09,542 --> 01:00:12,958
I just want to give her a big hug,
a really big hug.
894
01:00:17,250 --> 01:00:20,125
When I meet Goun again in heaven, I'll tell her.
895
01:00:21,125 --> 01:00:24,958
Your daddy did his best,
896
01:00:26,542 --> 01:00:31,500
as you always looked down from heaven.
897
01:00:32,667 --> 01:00:35,833
I did my best
898
01:00:36,875 --> 01:00:39,208
and I hope you are pleased with my efforts.
899
01:00:40,833 --> 01:00:50,667
And... I'm sorry.
900
01:00:51,333 --> 01:00:52,500
I'm sorry that
901
01:00:53,167 --> 01:00:57,750
I'm not good enough to be a good dad.
902
01:00:59,625 --> 01:01:01,542
I'll tell her I'm sorry that
903
01:01:02,750 --> 01:01:04,875
I couldn't do all for her.
904
01:01:11,167 --> 01:01:13,417
As I said, she was just about to bloom.
905
01:01:13,417 --> 01:01:17,375
But I couldn't take care of her.
I couldn't protect her.
906
01:01:20,208 --> 01:01:22,750
She is a thoughtful girl.
907
01:01:34,708 --> 01:01:40,125
She doesn't want me to worry.
908
01:01:41,333 --> 01:01:43,875
I know that she takes care of me there.
909
01:01:52,750 --> 01:01:55,708
It hurts her to see me cry,
so she will cry harder.
910
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:12,667
We have to walk in other's shoes.
911
01:02:12,667 --> 01:02:15,208
If it were your family, what would you do?
912
01:02:15,750 --> 01:02:17,417
No one can stay put.
913
01:02:19,042 --> 01:02:21,083
Thanks so much for joining us.
914
01:02:21,083 --> 01:02:25,250
The spread of MERS
is amplifying the anxiety of the Koreans,
915
01:02:25,250 --> 01:02:29,250
however, the complacency prevailing
in the society remains the same.
916
01:02:29,667 --> 01:02:32,000
The civilian medical experts,
917
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,083
who attended at private-public sector
emergency review meeting
918
01:02:35,083 --> 01:02:37,000
on MERS outbreaks held on June 3,
919
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,083
all pointed that "the public fear went too far."
920
01:02:41,417 --> 01:02:43,208
President Park Geun-hye made a statement that
921
01:02:43,208 --> 01:02:45,167
"Our goal is to eradicate the MERS virus,
however, on the other hand,
922
01:02:45,167 --> 01:02:49,208
we should minimize and overcome the ripple effect
in terms of economy,
923
01:02:49,208 --> 01:02:51,917
as a way to put an end to MERS,"
924
01:02:51,917 --> 01:02:54,500
calling for economic countermeasures.
