En Corée du Sud, le ferry Sewol sombra le 16 Avril 2014 avec 476 passagers à son bord. La majorité des passagers furent pris au piège en respectant l'ordre du capitaine : "Restez dans vos cabines". Quelques minutes plus tard, le capitaine fuyait le ferry à bord d'un canot de sauvetage. Le bilan fût de 304 morts noyés, dont 250 étudiants du lycée Danwon qui était en voyage scolaire vers l'île Jeju. Bien que neuf corps soient encore dans le ferry, le gouvernement coréen à repousser toutes opérations indéfiniment. Le gouvernement de PARK Geun-Hye refusa de reconnaître sa responsabilité dans ce désastre, notamment au niveau des opérations de sauvetages.

Richard Symons's documentary recounts the origins and rise to racing history of the AC Cobra, the car requested by Carroll Shelby. The film details the history of the Cobra and Carroll Shelby's racing career, from humble beginnings to the 1959 victory at the Le Mans 24 hours, with Roy Salvadori, at the wheel of an Aston Martin DBR1. The story goes on to explain Shelby's motivation to take on the might of Ferrari, with the help of Ford, and AC of England (who were then manufacturing invalid carriages as well as sports cars), and why Carroll Shelby had to retire from racing.
