South Korea's PM resigns over ferry disaster

The South Korean Prime Minister has resigned over the government's handling of the Sewol ferry disaster. At least 187 people are confirmed dead after the ferry capsized and sank over a week ago. More than a hundred people are still unacounted for. Chung Hong-Won said the cries of the families of those missing still haunt him at night. Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett reports from Seoul.

A true leader is suppose to not only feel every failing of the government whether responsible or not BUT than lead, not abandon.

Inevitable that someone in the government was made to take the fall for this tragedy. On a brighter note, Harry Fawcett is one of the most dashing, handsome news presenter I've ever seen!
