(NBC News) Nervous laughter, clowning and bravado gives way to panic and fear in a newly released recording from the last minutes aboard a doomed South Korean ferry.
The shaky video was discovered on the cellphone of a 17-year-old student, Park Su-hyeon, when rescuers recovered his body. The boy’s father provided it Thursday to The Associated Press, saying he wanted to show the world the ship’s condition as it sank.
