3 bodies retrieved from inside south korea ferry

Three bodies were retrieved for the first time late Saturday night from the sunken South Korean ferry, the emergency management headquarters said Sunday.

“Divers broke through the window of a passenger cabin just before midnight and pulled out three bodies,” a coastguard official said today.

All three were wearing lifejackets, the official said, adding that two were male while the gender of the third was not immediately confirmed.

The official said they were the same three bodies that had been spotted, but not retrieved, during an earlier dive.

Rescue teams planned to continue dive missions through the night to the ferry, which capsized on Wednesday morning, he said.

The confirmed death toll from the disaster now stands at 36 with 266 people still unaccounted for.
