Italy searchers find two more bodies on capsized liner

  • 12 years ago
Divers searching the underwater wreckage of the Costa Concordia find two bodies on deck number four on Monday.
Fifteen bodies have now been recovered from the cruise liner which crashed against the rocky seabed off the Italian island of Giglio ten days ago.
An official from Italy's civil protection agency says the bodies - two women - were found on the fourth deck of the listing cruise liner near the internet cafe.
With scuba gear, flashlights and an underwater camera, a team of Italian Navy divers is searching the cavernous interior of the liner.
Explosions set off on Monday allow the divers to enter previously inaccessible areas of the vessel.
The bodies have yet to be identified. Relatives on shore await the news.
