What are they (and the government) doing to make sure it won’t happen again?

Are they inspecting ferryboats? Requiring certification for crews?

The Sewol disaster was avoidable if the operators followed the law; but they didn’t. Who is watching current ferryboats?

Showing up at a “remembrance” virtue-signalling event without doing the work to prevent a reoccurrence practically guarantees more children will die the same way.

Setnaffa, I don’t know if Korea is making sure ferryboats don’t sink but I assure you there are all sorts of assinine rules and inspections on large and medium business.

It isn’t that there were no rules or inspectors.

It was that there is so much useless bureaucracy that inspectors don’t have time to monitor the important things that need a watchful eye.
