    A New Yorker short documentary about the 2014 sinking of the Sewol ferry in South Korea, based on the film In the Absence. It examines the failures in the rescue and the political aftermath.

    HN mostly cites it as an example of institutional failure and deference to hierarchy during a disaster.

      If you're interested in light retrospectives this is ok for a modern day ferry disaster - What Went Wrong in the South Korean Ferry Disaster? (28 mins) this video The MS Estonia also has doco's on Youtube

    2. @raszJul 2024· in “Women who make Samsung semiconductors are striking”

      > There's even a case where this resulted in an air disaster Lets not forget Sewol disaster 'recovery efforts' this video [LINK] where no rescue was even attempted before letting President decide (establishing video feed to command center).

    3. @raszFeb 2020· in “New COVID-19 cases reported across Japan”

      This somehow resembles both Fukushima and Korean Sewol disaster 'recovery efforts', this video . Social norms (face, status) above common sense.
