Three years after a nation watched in horror as a passenger ferry sank off South Korea, the first glimpse of the Sewol appeared above water as recovery crews lifted it from the seabed.
Engineers worked overnight to lift the 140-meter vessel several feet out of the water Thursday morning. Great care has been taken to ensure it did not break apart.
More than 300 people -- mostly teens on a school trip -- died when the ferry sank. Nine bodies are still missing; it is hoped they will be recovered once the Sewol is out of the water.
