    The inside of the Sewol is much more devastated than expected. The ceiling and walls of the cabins of the ferry ― which was underwater for three years ― were rotten and collapsed. The search of the remains of the nine missing victims officially started on Tuesday, with eight Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries officials in charge.

    The following 10 pictures released during the operation show the debris.
