185 bodies have been pulled from the South Korean ferry wreckage site. The cause of the sinking is still yet to be determined. Since the wreck that took place on April 16, 2014, divers have recovered 185 bodies. Of the 476 people on board the ship when it began to sink, only 174 survived; 117 people remain missing. “The rescue effort is getting slower,” said South Korean navy Capt. Kim Jin-hwang. Jin-hwang is in command of the rescue operation. “The divers already searched all the places easily accessible. They are expecting the search to become harder because of increasing currents and harsher weather. But the navy will not stop until the last body is found.”
