Captain Francesco Schettino Audio Tape Found

Five more bodies have been pulled from the cruise ship accident this Tuesday.  Frencesco Schettino, Captain of the Costa Concordia has been accused of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship before all  the passengers were evacuated during the grounding of the Costa Concordia cruise ship Friday night. A shocking and disturbing audio has since emerged in which the ship's captain, Schettino, can be heard making excuses as a member of the Italian coast guard repeatedly ordered him to return to oversee his ship's evacuation. The death toll is up to  11 on Tuesday when the divers extracted five more bodies. All of them were adults wearing life jackets, from the back of the ship near one of the emergency evacuation point, according to the Italian Coast Guard Commander Cosimo Nicastro. The coast guard has raised the amount of missing people to 25 passengers and 4 crew members. Among the missing people they believe 14 Germans, six Italians, four French, two Americans, one Hungarian, one Indian and one Peruvian are still missing.
