[quote]Several hundred people remain unaccounted for after a ferry carrying 459 people capsized and sank off South Korea.
A major rescue effort is under way, using dozens of ships and helicopters.
The ferry was carrying mainly school students to the southern resort island of Jeju.
Angry parents have gathered at the school, near Seoul, to demand answers.
South Korean officials had earlier said that 368 people had been plucked to safety, but later said there had been a counting error. They have now revised down the number rescued to 174.
Teams of navy divers were now searching the scene for those unaccounted for, officials said, but the work was challenging. "There is so much mud in the sea water and the visibility is very low," said Lee Gyeong-og, vice-minister of security and public administration.[/quote]

Communication error between HQ and the rescue teams I suppose
