THE first distress call from the sinking South Korean ferry was made by a boy, his voice trembling, three minutes after the Sewol made its last turn.
He called the emergency 119 number which put him through to the fire service, which in turn forwarded him to the coast guard two minutes later. That was followed by about 20 other calls from children. The boy who made the first call, surnamed Choi, is missing. His voice was shaking and sounded urgent, a fire officer told MBC TV.
“Save us! We’re on a ship and I think it’s sinking,” Yonhap news agency quoted him as saying.
