It was one of South Korea’s most heartbreaking disasters: 304 people died, with nine still missing. Many of the passengers were high school students on a field trip.

South Korean President Park Geun-Hye briefly visited the site and promised to raise the remains of the ship as the victims’ families have demanded. That process could cost anywhere from $90 million to $180 million.
