It's been more than five full days now since Korea's worst ferry disaster in two decades, with search-and-rescue operations continuing through the day and into night.
Unfortunately... no survivors have been found since the first day and the death toll continues to rise.
Let's go live to our Hwang Sung-hee and Ji Myung-kil standing by at Paengmok-hang harbor,... which is just 20 kilometers from the accident scene.
Guys.
Within the last couple of hours, we have seen the death toll rise dramatically.
Dozens of bodies have been recovered and the death toll currently stands at 87... but that number is fast-changing.
The bodies have not been identified yet, but most are suspected to be high school students and also includes foreigners.
It has been endless crying and wailing of family members of the victims here... each time a report comes in, confirming that their child has passed away in the sunken ferry.
