Three Found Alive On Partly Submerged Cruise Ship


Three people have been found alive on Sunday on the partially submerged cruise ship as workers continue their efforts near the Tuscan coast.


A couple who were on their honeymoon were found alive by Italian firemen in their cabin and have now been taken to hospital.




There cruise ship has a gash below the waterline with a rock stuck in the hull. The couple have been taken to hospital along with an Italian man who is thought to have been a crew member. Three people were killed when the cruise ship hit an object which has yet to be determined, on Friday night. Divers are continuing to comb the region and are circling the hull listening for any sounds. Divers are also combing the cabins that rest underwater for signs of the 41 people that remain unaccounted for.


The captain of the cruise ship along with the first officer have been detained for questioning on charges of manslaughter along with failing to offer assistance and abandoning the cruise ship in distress.
