More bodies have been found from the Costa Concordia ship that crashed January 13th. Recovery teams have been searching since the crash and they finally found the last 5 bodies. Two of the people were American, two German, and one Italian crew member. Total, at least 30 people didn’t survive the crash. The amount of people on the Costa Concordia was about 4,200 including crew members. Captain, Francesco Schettino, said that he was told to sail near the island and denied that he could have been sailing too quickly. He also claimed that the rock was not visible on his charts. No one has been charged yet, but Schettino, is still being investigated and is being accused of manslaughter, causing the wreck, leaving the ship, not reporting the accident, and hurting a natural habitat.
