South Korea plane crash: Transport minister resigning after feeling "heavy responsibility"

South Korea’s transport minister intends to step down after the deadly Jeju Air plane crash that killed 179 people on Dec. 29. Speaking in Sejong on Tuesday, Park Sang-woo said, “I feel heavy responsibility for this disaster.” Though Park said he will work with the transport ministry to swiftly improve the safety of airport landing systems — which experts say contributed to the tragedy — he added that he will find a suitable time to resign once the work is done. 181 people were aboard the Boeing 737-800 that slid off the Muan Airport runway before fatally crashing into a wall and exploding. Two crew members were the only survivors.
