[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Ms Park said that the government had failed to prevent the disaster and [b]bungled（弄糟）[/b] its [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/96473.html]emergency[/url] response.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Her apology comes amid ongoing work to retrieve bodies from the [b]sunken（沉没的）[/b] hull.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The ferry sank with 476 people aboard - most of them high school students and teachers - off South Korea on 16 April. A total of 174 were rescued. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The remainder have been confirmed dead or missing presumed drowned. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Officials have retrieved almost 200 bodies and divers are continuing to search for those still unaccounted for. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"I don't know how to apologise for the failure to prevent this accident, and for the insufficient first response," Ms Park said in the statement.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"I am sorry to the [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/96473.html]people[/url] and heavy-hearted that many precious lives were lost."[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Ms Park's apology comes amid mounting public anger and criticism over the disaster. Most of those on board were on a trip from Danwon high school in Ansan, south of Seoul. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]President Park had earlier paid her respects at a memorial altar set up near the school. Local media reports said she was heckled by angry family members. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Attention has focused on why so few people were evacuated from the stricken vessel, and on the possibly negligence of the captain and crew. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]On Sunday, South Korean Prime Minister Chung Hong-won offered his resignation over the disaster. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]In her statement, Ms Park she would create a new government agency to handle large-scale accidents, Yonhap news agency reported.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The national safety ministry would also be placed under the prime minister's office, the agency said.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"We should have a firm determination to make the entire safety system from scratch," Ms Park said.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"The entire Cabinet should come up with [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/96473.html]safety[/url] measures for the people with an attitude to remodel the country from square one."[/size][/font]
