Hey again! It's me. I have looked up a few ocean related events and found one very interesting article. The article said that last Wednesday, Italian divers found eight more bodies in the shipwreck off the coast of Goglio. The ship, called The Concordia, hit a coral reef off the coast of the Tuscan island Goglio on January 13. The ship was carrying 4,200 passengers, and so far, the death toll, including those missing and the bodies found stands at 32. The captain, and many of the Concordia's officials are under investigation for attempted manslaughter. The captain had abandoned his ship while the crew and passengers were still on board. Afterward, he denies ever leaving the ship and claimed that the coral reef was not on his maps, though the local fishermen said that the spot was well known and on tourist maps.
Here's where I got the article:
D'emilio, Frances. "Italy: Divers find 8 more bodies in ship wreckage ." msnbc.com. msn, 2012. Web. 24 Feb. 2012. <http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46480877#.T0fbuVHN1qA>.
And here is a picture of the ship.
