A video footage that shows the sinking process of the Sewol was released on Youtube on Thursday.

The brief, 46-second video clip shows a cracked smartphone screen playing footage, apparently recorded by a trapped passenger, showing the circumstances onboard the sinking ferry.

The footage reveals the tilted interior of the vessel and the voices of the passengers.

One of the passengers, allegedly the recorder of the footage, asks another female passenger “what time is it now?” But before she checks the time, the footage ends.
