costa concordia

GROSSETO, Italy (AP) — The captain of the capsized Costa Concordia luxury liner has been convicted of multiple charges of manslaughter and sentenced to 16 years in jail.

ROME (Associated Press) — Divers have spotted human remains near the shipwrecked Costa Concordia off an Italian island, and authorities say DNA tests will determine if they are those of two victims whose bodies were never found.

The Costa Concordia, the Italian cruise ship that crashed and resulted in the death of 32 people last year, was tipped upright on Monday.

In what’s being seen by many as an incredulous move, Carnival Corp., the parent company of the downed Costa Concordia cruise ship, is offering survivors of the disaster 30 percent off future cruise vacations.
