Dozens of rescue boats and helicopters are scrambling to save the passengers of a ferry that is sinking off the coast of South Korea.
At least one person has been confirmed dead.
According to reports 338 people have been rescued - including many school students.
The ferry, with 476 people on board, was sailing to the southern island of Jeju when it sent a distress call as it began leaning to one side.
The students are from a high school in Ansan city near Seoul and were on their way to the island for a four-day trip, according to a relief team set up by Gyeonggi Province.
The ship left Incheon port, just west of Seoul, on Tuesday evening, according to the state-run Busan Regional Maritime Affairs And Port Administration.
A total of 18 helicopters and 34 rescue boats have been sent to the area.
