This is a developing situation so any information I post here will likely change very quickly.

So far, 280 are missing, 6 dead and 176 rescued.
Here's a text conversation between a boy who was on the ferry and his mother:
Update:
It's become apparent that 325 students were told to stay below deck while the ship was sinking.
Hundreds are feared dead, as it's unlikely that any escaped in time.
Family members have taken matters into their own hands and have hired their own rescue boats to look for survivors.
It is still thought that at least 280 passengers are trapped inside the capsized ship, but a marine salvage expert has said that they can survive if they find air pockets.
