South Korean President Park Geun Hye apologized over a ferry sinking that left more than three hundred people dead or missing, the nation’s worst maritime disaster in four decades.

“I apologize to the people,” Park said at a cabinet meeting today, according to a pool report issued by the presidential Blue House. Part of the meeting was later broadcast on YTN. “I feel heavy-hearted after a lot of precious lives were lost due to this accident,” she said.
