New video footage has been put online showing high school students in the South Korean ferry tragedy just minutes before the ship sank off the South Korean coast on April 16. Some students can be heard saying they were feeling dizzy, and others questioned whether they were about to die, just before the boat overturned and capsized.

"Am I really going to die?" said a student at 8:53 a.m. on April 16, two minutes prior to the moment when a ferry crew member made the first distress call.

Other students were wondering if the boat would actually sink, but tragically they were told to stay where they were inside the boat by staff on a loudspeaker.

"What's the captain doing?" asked a student before the ferry plunged into the sea last month.

There were at least 300 people who were killed or are still missing as a result of the ferry tragedy. Out of the Korean Sewol ship's 425 passengers, 325 of the people on aboard were students from Danwon High School. The high school students were on a field trip to Jeju Island when the tragedy occurred.

The newly released video revealed what some of the students said in the final moments of their lives as the ferry capsized and sank.

"I'm really scared," said a student.

"Is it really sinking?" said another pupil. "Wow, they're giving us life vests."

"I'm getting out of here," said another teen.

"Me too, me too," says another.

"We have to survive now," said a high school student.

"We're all finished. I have to leave some farewell words before I die," said another teen.

"Mom, I love you," said one student before the boat sank.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye issued the following statement on Tuesday.

"I am losing sleep as there is no news about saving more lives and because there are many families who don't know whether their loved ones are dead or alive still," said President Geun-hye in a statement on April 29. "I am at a loss for words for an apology that can be enough to console the pain and suffering even for a little while over insufficiency in efforts made to prevent the accident and also in the initial response to the accident, We'll fix the problems and change our practices so we'll have safer nation and won't let them die in vain."
