[**** 251 People Rescued, 227 Still on Board Norman Atlantic Ferry (Italian Navy) ]
The fire broke out before dawn on Sunday on a car deck of the Italian-flagged Norman Atlantic, traveling from the western Greek port of Patras to the Italian port of Ancona on the Adriatic, with 422 passengers and 56 crew members on board.
Italy and Greece sent navy and coast guard vessels and helicopters, while nearby merchant ships lined up to form a barrier to protect the ferry from towering waves and facilitate rescue. As darkness fell, Italian Defense Minister Roberta Pinotti said rescue operations would continue throughout the night.
Most of those rescued were transported to other nearby ships, but nine were taken to the Italian town of Lecce. Of those, three children and a pregnant woman were being treated for hypothermia in Lecce hospital. Dr. Raffaele Montinaro said the children were in `'excellent'' condition, and emergency room doctor, Antonio Palumbo, said the mother's condition was also good.
The Italian Navy said the man who died and one injured person were transported by helicopter to the southern Italian city of Brindisi. It was unclear how the death or injury occurred, but the Greek Coast Guard said both the pair were found in a lifeboat rescue chute.
The second injury was to a member of the Italian military involved in the rescue operation, Coast Guard Admiral Giovanni Pettorino said........................http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/europe/1-dead-hundreds-stranded-in-Greek-ferry-disaster/articleshow/45670729.cms

ReplyDeleteΠολεμικό σκάφος του Ιταλικού Πολεμικού Ναυτικού έχει προσεγγίσει το Norman Atlantic και σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες γίνεται προσπάθεια ώστε οι δεκάδες εγκλωβισμένοι να επιβιβαστούν από το ακυβέρνητο πλοίο στο σκάφος του Ιταλικού Πολεμικού Ναυτικού....
ReplyDeleteΑυτή η προσπάθεια ενισχύεται και από τις σχετικά καλές καιρικές συνθήκες καθώς οι θυελλώδεις άνεμοι που έπνεαν καθ’ όλη τη διάρκεια της χθεσινής ημέρας έχουν κοπάσει. Στο Norman Atlantic που εκδηλώθηκε πριν από περίπου 23 ώρες πυρκαγιά παραμένουν περίπου 300 επιβάτες και μέλη του πληρώματος.
