South Koreans are suspending the search for missing sailors due to bad weather. They were searching for 46 sailors from a sunk ship, Cheonan. 57 of the sailors have been found and one of the rescuers was killed during. The cause of the sinking was due to an unknown explosion that is suspected to have been caused by a mine from the Korean War. South Korea has not yet revealed the incident to its people. The navy is planning on salvaging the ship which was carrying missiles.
This event is globally important because it could ultimately cause cultural diffusion. Many years ago cultures were spread by means of sailing to new places. If the sailors end up on a small island they could implement their ideas into that culture. Also since the cause may have been due to the Korean War, the north may be accused of the incident. Also, the materials on the boat could be salvaged by another country therefore possibly capturing undiscovered technology and further diffusing.
