Government
SEJONG, South Korea: South Korea's transport minister said on Tuesday (Jan 7) that he intends to step down to take responsibility for the deadly crash of a Boeing jet operated by Jeju Air on Dec 29. Jeju Air flight 7C2216, which departed the Thai capital of Bangkok for Muan in southwestern South Korea, belly-landed and overshot the regional airport's runway, exploding into flames after hitting an embankment. "I feel heavy responsibility for this disaster," Park Sang-woo told a press briefing.
