Updated at 4:00 p.m. ET: GIGLIO, Italy -- The operators of the Costa Concordia faced questions over their share of the blame for the shipwreck, as divers recovered another body from the stricken liner Sunday, bringing the known death toll to 13.

Captain Francesco Schettino is accused of steering the cruise ship too close to shore while performing a maneuver known as a "salute" in which liners draw up very close to land to make a display.


Quote:
Schettino, who is charged with multiple manslaughter and with abandoning ship before the evacuation of 4,200 passengers and crew was complete, has told prosecutors he had been instructed to perform the maneuver by operator Costa Cruises

One of the very few situations in which doing a barrel roll is not a good idea.

America doesn't give two s*** about Italy unless it's cuisine or car related.
