Nearly 300 people were still missing Wednesday several hours after a ferry carrying 477, most of them high school students, sank in cold waters off South Korea's southern coast, killing at least two and injuring seven, officials said.
A government official earlier said that more than 100 people were still unaccounted for, but officials later changed the number to 295.
