Dolphins smarter than chimps
ROME, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- Four more bodies were found Wednesday in the crippled Costa Concordia cruise ship that wrecked off Italy's Tuscan coast last month, officials said.
Recovery workers saw the bodies on a bridge that was partially submerged but had yet to recover them, ANSA reported.
Eleven passengers remain missing and are presumed dead, officials said. Seventeen other bodies have been recovered since the Costa Concordia slammed into a rock formation Jan. 13. The ship had been carrying 4,200 passengers and crew.
Costa Concordia Capt. Francesco Schettino is under house arrest at his home near Naples and faces charges of abandoning ship and multiple counts of manslaughter. He has denied the allegations.
