Concordia search ends because of rescue dangers

1 FEB: Italian emergency officials said yesterday that they are calling off a search for missing people in the submerged section of Costa Concordia due to the danger to rescue workers. The Civil Protection agency said technical studies indicated that the deformed hull of the ship created too many safety concerns to continue the search.

It said relatives and diplomatic officials representing the countries of the missing have been informed of the decision.

Seventeen bodies have been recovered, one of which has not yet been identified. Sixteen people are listed as missing.
