SKorea prepares search for Sewol ferry remains

SEOUL: Salvage workers are set to begin the grim and dangerous task of searching the wreck of South Korea’s Sewol ferry, the Maritime Ministry said Monday, after releasing a stark image of the vessel’s devastated interior.

Following a complex salvage operation, the raised ferry was finally placed on dry land Sunday, nearly three years after it sank with the loss of more than 300 lives—most of them schoolchildren.
