January 07, 2022 Sad Story of the MV Sewol
Recommended by a great college pal, Gaby, this shipwreck is one of the darkest ones we’ll ever cover. A routine ferry ride from Incheon to Jeju in South Korea in the 90s goes horribly wrong, with cabins full of children and a crew lacking any nautical experience. This wreck is haunted for sure, and listen in to learn more. Sources: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/10/world/asia/sewol-ferry-accident.html
