Family members of the missing person visited the search site in person?

[Reporter]
Yes, it's been nearly 36 hours since the accident, but we haven't heard about the discovery of the missing person yet.

It was found that the families of the missing people went to see the search scene in person on a Coast Guard patrol boat at Jeju Port a while ago.

The Coast Guard announced the results of the search on the first day of the accident through a briefing today.

During the search, the patrol boat found 24 items of 7 types, including refrigerator debris and fishing nets.

Today, the search scope was expanded by predicting where the missing people would have been washed away, and a coastal search was conducted by walking and drones.

In addition, divers and equipment were added to conduct an underwater search.

After a 20-minute search using a remote-controlled underwater robot from around 11:50 a.m., it was confirmed that the hull was not turned over.

In addition, the Coast Guard explained that the ship is not completely sunk due to a net in the steering room at the front of the ship, and its position continues to change according to the current.

In the meantime, the bodies of two dead Korean sailors will be transported to Busan by air today.

The larger catch than usual is being pointed out as the cause of the accident?

[Reporter]
The Coast Guard is also focusing on identifying the cause of the accident.

Yesterday, the rescued crew explained the investigation based on statements made in the investigation.

I'll listen to it myself.

[Kim Dae-cheol / Jeju Maritime Police Investigation Division: It seems that more than 10,000 boxes have been captured. It's about 20kg per box. So it's about 200 tons. I think there was a lot of catch at the time, considering that there was another carrier waiting behind it.

The Coast Guard launched its first investigation into 13 rescued sailors yesterday.

The Venus ferry was found to have suddenly turned over to the right while it moved the catch to the carrier and was waiting for the second carrier.

In the Coast Guard investigation, some rescued sailors reportedly stated that the catch seemed to be the cause of the accident, which was too much to bear the weight.

As such, the Coast Guard is investigating whether the larger catch than usual is related to the ship's loss of resilience.

In addition, the investigation is expected to speed up as the prosecution has also set up a special team to investigate.
