Authorities Want To Arrest Captain Of Capsized Ferry

Officials in South Korea are calling for the arrest of the captain of the ferry that capsized this week with over 300 students on board. Prosecutors and local police have also requested an arrest warrant for three crewmembers in a local court, AFP reports. “The joint investigation team of police and prosecutors asked for warrants to arrest three crew, including the captain,” a coast guard official told AFP. The captain and most of the crew reportedly escaped the ferry that capsized Wednesday off the coast of South Korea, an accident that authorities think may have been the result of a shift in cargo after a sharp turn.
