The body of a lost sailor was discovered in a sunken South Korea ship that went down in March. The sinking of the ship was very mysterious and caused more tension between North and South Korea. They are investigating what actually caused the ship to sink, and many believe that North Korea was somehow involved. The 1,200 ton ship, called Cheonan, sank near the western sea border on March 26th. Forty of the 104 crew members have been confirmed as dead, and 6 are still missing and thought to be dead. 58 of the members of the crew were rescued before the ship sank.
I never really find myself being shocked about stories like this, even though many people died, because they seem to happen all the time. Forty people died in a freak accident that no one knows how it happened and we don't bat an eye. But everything in the world, all the death and destruction, will affect us all somehow in the long run. If I were the family of one of the 6 still missing, I would want to find them. I would just want the closure, even if they just found the body. Also, I would want to find out how the ship sank in the first place. It seems kind of shady to me; something else must have been going on there.
