Seoul, South Korea (CNN) - Rescue boats and helicopters scrambled to pluck hundreds of passengers, most of them high school students, from a passenger ferry as it listed and slow sank off the southwest coast of South Korea on Wednesday.
Of the 474 people on board, 368 were rescued, many from the freezing waters into which they had jumped from the listing ship.
At least two people -- a woman and a student -- were confirmed dead. Another 104 remain unaccounted for, South Korean officials said.
The rescue operation was still underway at 2 p.m. local time (1 a.m. ET) -- four hours after the ferry first sent out distress signal.
Authorities could not immediately say what caused the ship to sink. The weather at the time of the incident in the area was clear.
