Shifting our focus to the families of the victims,... who are heading to Budapest.
The travel agency that organized the trip is assisting the families.
For more, we go live to our Choi Si-young standing by at the travel agency in Seoul.
Si-young, what are you hearing?

Sure Mark. At the moment, 10 family members are heading to Budapest and they include a family member of the youngest missing victim, a six year old child.
They are expected to arrive in Hungary at one PM, local time, on Friday.

Another 33 members will depart at around the noon local time,... departing mostly from Incheon International Airport,.. and some are taking Lufthansa carriers.
One family member is known to be flying to Budapest from the U.S.

The agency has also sent its employees to the site of accident.
Fourteen employees are currently in Hungary and attended the emergency meeting there organized by South Korea's foreign ministry.
Two are on a plane heading to Hungary, and six more are also expected to join the local emergency team shortly.

The travel agency says South Korean government arranged lodging for all the family members and travel agency employees in Budapest.
They will stay at four different hotels, just 15 minutes away from the site of accident.

That's all I have for you at this hour, back to you Mark.
