This story reminds me of how the high schoolers on the Korean ferry MV Sewol obeyed the instructions to stay in their rooms.

Just read about it on Wikipedia. Straight up murder. This isn't "you shouldn't follow instructions" but more "dont get murdered".

They 2x overloaded cargo, made it loose, captain abandons ship while staying in place order remains.

Yeah this is really way out there. The crew and captian straight up murdered those passengers. There was literally no reason to tell the students to stay put there were even rescue boats available.

		For me the common element is in how people trusted authority when that authority issued instructions which seemed reasonable but turned out to be deadly. The character of the MV Sewol's captain isn't material.
