Authorities are investigating the possibility the ferry was off course, reports that few of its lifeboats made it into the water and that the captain was among the first to escape, according to maritime police. FULL STORY

- Anguished relatives of missing South Korean ferry passengers waited for answers Thursday as rescuers fought bad weather, murky water, darkness and time to find a way deep into the capsized ship.
Authorities believe 276 people -- many of them high school students on a field trip -- may remain trapped inside the five-story ship. At least some, authorities say, could still be alive more than a day after the ship rolled over.
Meanwhile, the ferry's captain is facing mounting questions about the incident.

It's an ocean going ferry, much like this one which sails from Bellingham, WA to Juneau, AK.
