By the end of the 18th, dozens of people had been killed and more than 200 people were still missing, including four Chinese citizens. Although rescuers opened the access to the hull and injected air on the 18th, the rescue operation became more and more urgent as the “golden 72 hours” of rescue approached. And a teacher who was lucky to be rescued after the incident committed suicide after leaving a suicide note for self reproach
“golden 72 hours” is approaching and the access channel is open
South Korea’s “years” passenger ship sank on the morning of the 16th, and the rescue deadline of “golden 72 hours” is coming on the 19th. On the 18th, the weather conditions in the sea area where the incident happened were relatively good, and the search and rescue work was fully carried out
according to South Korean media reports, on the morning of the 18th, search and rescue personnel began to inject oxygen into the hull. As the ship’s hull has almost completely sunk, navy divers began to bind air bags for wreck salvage on passenger ships
it is reported that the lifting capacity of a single air bag can reach 35 tons. The use of air bags to assist floating can prevent the ship from sinking further. South Korea plans to bind more than 20 airbags to provide a more stable environment for divers to operate underwater
since the sinking of the passenger ship, rescue workers have tried many times to enter the cabin, but failed. 1t was not until 3 pm on the 18th that the search and rescue personnel successfully entered the cabin of the passenger ship, but no survivors were found

Compared with earlier on the 18th, the death toll remained unchanged, the total number increased by one and the number rescued decreased by five according to the media, the South Korean side has announced that the shipping company and the coast guard of the wrecked passenger ship are sorting out the passenger list. But in fact, before South Korea announced that it was “sorting out the list”, the shipping company had sorted out the personnel list and handed it to the coast guard.
