A ferry carrying mostly high school students, sank in the coast of South Korea on Wednesday.

Out of the reported 459 people in the ferry, at least 3 have already been found dead and 55 injured. Almost 300 are still missing.

325 of the passengers on board are high school students who are reportedly on their way to Jeju Island for a four-day trip.
