Good guess. WAS my zip code at one time 
Another source said he was retiring anyway and wouldve retired if the accident had not happened. But big Asian companies do often see chairmen resigning to take social responsibility even if they had no direct responsibility. Because as you pointed out the responsibility starts from the top.
However I personally prefer to have a chairman who is tough and able. And when the **** hits the fan will be able to not only ride it out but take charge and get whatever needs getting done done !!!
I personally would not leave such an office unless I was physically removed. But thats just me.

I was on a 737-800 yesterday sitting down the back next to the starboard wing.
The slats are in four sections I think or is it just three? Anyway on final as the slats were further deployed from first stage to the second stage I am sure I noticed fouling between the two outer sections resulting in a small "flick" of the outermost segment as the edges of the two sections interacted.
As the wing was inflight and loaded at that point, it would be almost impossible to recreate on the ground without artificially loading the wing again.
Anyone seen minor fouling like this before?
