Costa Concordia Monday Mega-Update

  • 2 more bodies were just found. The death toll rises to 15.
  • 18 are still missing
  • By now I’m sure you’re aware that the accident was caused by the Captain navigation too close to the Island. Last night into this morning, news broke that according to a transcript of the captions police testimony, Costa Cruises “ordered” the Captain to sail unusually close. He referred to this action as a “salute.”
  • According to Italian news La Repubblica, prosecutors are intresting in getting their hands on the captains laptop “given the haste with which it changed hands.” (referring to the speculation that it was given to the “Mysterious Blonde”)
  • Tourists are said to be flocking to the tiny island to see the shipwreck. Pretty disrespectful if you ask me.

  • The ship that will be used to offload the bunkers(fuel) from the Concordia, is expected to arrive latter today.
