More than 300 people were unaccounted for missing from a ferry sinking off the southwest coast, the South Korean coast guard said in a dramatic increase in the number of missing that had been announced earlier.
South Korean coast guard officers tried to rescue passengers from ferry Sewol in the water off the southern coast near Jindo, south of Seoul, South Korea.
The passenger ferry was carrying 477 people, of whom 164 were confirmed rescued, coast guard officials said. Two people were confirmed dead after the ferry listed heavily onto its side and capsized in apparently calm conditions.
South Korea's Ministry of Security and Public Administration had reported that 368 people had been rescued and about 100 were still missing but later said those numbers had been miscalculated.

Appeal 'very difficult' if primary class exceeds 30 pupils
Parents who did not get their child into a local primary school should first find out if the class they were hoping to put their youngster in has exceeded 30 pupils, should they want to appeal, a legal expert told Daybreak.
John Walker, who specialises in appeals for school places, said the "first thing" the parents needed to work out if they had an "infant class size appeal".
"In 2000 the Government brought in regulations to say that one teacher can only teach a maximum of 30 children. If that happens, then the test to win the appeal is very, very difficult.
"You either have to show there was a mistake when the initial decision was made or that the decision is so unreasonable that no other school, no other local authority would have made that decision on the family's circumstances."

Mum: 'Nothing is for certain' with primary school places
A mother-of-two has said she has taken "nothing for certain" when trying to get her youngest son into primary school, after the family were initially left out in the cold when trying to find a school for their eldest child.
Sally Johnson, who lives with her family in south London told Daybreak they "had a really bad experience" when trying to get six-year-old Joshua into a nearby school last year.
"We didn't get any of our six schools that we had put down and were given a school further out that just wouldn't have suited our family life. So that was really stressful!"
