In the final, chaotic moments before the South Korean ferry Sewol rolled over and sank into the chilly waters of the Yellow Sea, 48 girls obeyed the orders of crew members and put on their life vests.

None of them survived.
The account of the recovery of the girls' bodies, offered Friday by rescue officials, offers a glimpse of the final moments aboard the sinking ferry, which went down on April 16 with 476 people aboard.
It also illuminates the daunting task facing divers trying to retrieve bodies while maintaining a fading glimmer of hope that perhaps, somewhere aboard the ferry, someone remains alive.

«Todos profesionales de la Marina Mercante trabajan en el ámbito de sus competencias para prevenir accidentes marítimos y la Comisión de Investigación de Accidentes e Incidentes Marítimos (Ciaim) analiza las causas de cada accidente y a nosotros, las Administraciones, nos corresponde tomar buena nota y poner en marcha todas las indicaciones». Así despachó la ministra de Fomento la interpelación de la diputada del BNG Rosana Pérez, que preguntó a Pastor qué medidas urgentes pretendía poner en marcha su Gobierno para evitar naufragios como los del Santa Ana, Mar de Marín y Mar Nosso, que en espacio de 39 días se cobraron 18 vidas.
