The footage was spliced together from clips taken from the Korea Coast Guard Cutter 123 from 9:28 a.m. until 11:17 a.m. A Coast Guard official told reporters, "We postponed revealing the footage since it was submitted to the joint investigation committee but decided to show it in order to dispel suspicions that we are trying to hide it."
It shows the 100-ton cutter and 14 crew arriving at the scene of the accident at around 9:30 a.m. The Sewol was at the time listing 50 to 60 degrees to port. The cutter avoided getting close to the ferry. "It could have gotten crushed by the Sewol if it came too close," said one Coast Guard official.
