The shaky video was on the cellphone of a 17-year-old student, Park Su-hyeon, when rescuers recovered his body. The boy's father, Park Jong-dae, provided it Thursday to select media outlets, saying he wanted to show the world the ship's condition and what was happening aboard as it rolled over and sank.
In video clips, the teenagers talk of snapping selfies, wonder if they'll make the news and discuss posting about the excitement later on Facebook.
Announcements from the crew tell people not to move, but as the video continues, passengers gradually realize the danger they're in and start searching for life vests.
The captain of the ferry, Capt. Lee Joon-seok has reportedly said that he delayed giving an evacuation order because he was worried about sending the passengers into the cold waters and fast currents before rescuers arrived.
One boy is heard saying, "This looks like the end," and another says, "Mom, Dad, I love you."
