CONCORDIA DISASTER, 8 MORE BODIES FOUND
Divers have found an additional eight more bodies from the capsized Costa Concordia ship, which ran aground last month off the Italian island of Giglio, raising the death toll to 25. Seven people are still unaccounted for, following the disaster, which is still currently under investigation.
Among the bodies discovered during the search on Wednesday, was that of a missing five-year-old Italian girl, whose father also died when the cruiseliner struck a rock close to the shore on January 13th. Divers were not able to immediately remove five of the bodies because of the unstable weather condition, which has hampered the recovery effort numerous times.
Italian prosecutors have since widened their probe, placing four ship's officers and three executives of Costa Cruises, in connection with the ships ill-fated journey. The seven employees join the ship's captain Francesco Schettino and first officer Ciro Ambrosio, who are both being formally investigated.
The Costa Concordia, which by tonnage is the largest passenger ship ever wrecked, had more than 4,200 passengers on board at the time of the tragedy.
