Divers today retrieved the first bodies from the submerged South Korean ferry that capsized nearly four days ago, marking a grim new stage in the search and recovery process.
"Divers broke through the window of a passenger cabin just before midnight and pulled out three bodies," a coastguard official said. All three were wearing lifejackets, the official said, adding that two were male while the gender of the third was not immediately confirmed.
