20 14, 16 On April 6, 2006, the passenger ship "Nianyue" with 476 people on board accidentally entered the water in the sea area north of Feng Ping Island, Jindo County, Jeollanam-do, South Korea, and finally sank. Only 172 people were rescued. Up to now, 295 people, including 4 citizens of China, have been killed in the accident, and 9 people are still missing.

This is the most serious shipwreck in South Korea in recent decades. The South Korean Prime Minister resigned, and the marine police department was dissolved because it did not fulfill its due responsibilities in the rescue. About 400 people, including the directors, captains and crew of shipwrecked operators, and relevant personnel of marine police, shipping companies and security inspection agencies, were put on file for investigation, of which 154 were arrested and many were sentenced.

Bad weather forced the search and rescue work to be suspended.

Some officials in charge of rescue work said on the 26th that divers had arrived in two large rooms of the sunken ship's cabin and found the bodies of many victims. However, due to bad weather conditions, the search and rescue operation was forced to stop. On the morning of 26th, the current was so fast that divers could not enter the cabin.

South Korean media reported that the two rooms where a large number of victims' bodies were found, one at the stern and the other at the bow, were collective huts where many people rested. One of the planes was rented by 50 students from Yuan Tan Middle School in Ansan City, Gyeonggi Province. There are 325 Yuan Tan high school students and 14 teachers on the passenger ship "Years", of which 250 are missing or confirmed dead.

South Korean media reported that because the hull capsized when sinking, many large objects in the cabin fell, resulting in many doors of the inner cabin without windows being killed by heavy objects, and divers could not enter.
