Outrage grows as hundreds remain missing after South Korean ferry disaster

A desperate race is under way off the coast of South Korea to save nearly 300 people, most of them students trapped in what authorities hope are isolated air pockets inside the overturned ferry.

Authorities are working on the assumption that survivors are still in the ship - but bad weather, murky water and darkness have hindered the rescue operation.

On land, the South Korean government is under increasing pressure to determine what caused the crash that has killed at least 25 people.
