Concordia Saturday Update

  • Divers have recovered a 17th body from inside the wreck on deck 6.

 

  • Weather continues to hamper recovery and prelim work on the ships fuel tanks.
  • Smit is scheduled to start pumping out the heavy bunker fuel midweek.
  • AP has the first photo I’ve seen of the actual evacuation from the outside. From here we can tell just how bad the list was.
  • USA Today has former chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board Jim Hall as saying that this disaster “should be a shot across the bow that things need to change."
