Ten years ago Tuesday, an overloaded South Korean ferry capsized and sank, killing hundreds of schoolchildren who had been ordered to stay in their cabins even as the captain evacuated.
The accident and botched rescue triggered nationwide fury. The ship's "incompetent" crew were jailed, the wreckage of the Sewol ferry lifted, and South Korea's then-president Park Geun-hye impeached, in part over her disastrous mishandling of the accident.
