Behind the sinking in Italy: Ven gradually veil of secrecy


There were secret and revealed details about the thrilling Costa Concordia cruise giant to double stranded and sank the Titanic 13-1 on Giglio Island, Italy.
As of the date of 31-1, the team found the fake Italian total of 17 bodies in five-star yacht Costa Concordia after 17 days hard work in cold weather conditions and full-wave to the wind. Thus, 16 missing still have not found a trace.
All hopes of finding survivors barely although he Franco Gabrielli, director of Operation Rescue and Rescue Protection Agency Italian citizens, confirmed that the team's No. 1 goal is to salvage survivors because it is "moral imperative".
The risk of oil spills
Particularly, the rescue ship, brought to dock for repairs at the request of Costa Corciere, mining companies ship Costa Concordia, Mr. Gabrielli said in extreme weather conditions like now, it takes 7 to 10 months to be done.
The vessel has deadweight of 114,000 tons, over 300 m is being tipped to sink further and further 3.5 cm on the night of 28-1. Failure to disconnect all the fuel is contained in the vessel and the interior decorations on the ship, the Costa Concordia can sink. At that time, only to sell the ship for "ve bottle."
Currently, Costa Corciere are researching prices and methods of the research ship in international bidding companies. NBC (U.S.) would probably have said the new company two months to decide the bid winner. Watch out, people on the island of Giglio to wait until later this year coming out of the threat from the sinking ship known as the "Titanic 2" is. They are worried the upcoming summer, Costa Concordia disaster if not improved, the tourism industry on the island - which is the main livelihood of the residents here - will be heavy losses.

Bad weather has repeatedly delayed the search for survivors and bodies of the ill-fated passengers. The withdrawal of 500,000 gallons of oil (1 gallon = 3.78 liters) and 30-1 interrupted day in fear of catastrophic oil spill habitat around the island Giglio. A barge used to set the oil pump suction side of the Costa Concordia anchor had docked the late withdrawal last week to shore for fear of sinking ocean waves. Earlier, on 27-1, the Dutch company Smit withdrew more than 2,300 tons of oil, a modest figure.
Peru heroine
The body of a woman - the 17 - Italian clones were found in the 6th day 28-1. Forensic examination to name the deceased as Fani Soria Erika Molina, Peru nationality. When found, she Molina wear uniforms on the ship but staff not wearing life jackets.
The surviving witnesses later recounted in the mass media the heroism of female employees. The disaster occurred at night, passengers find their way out of sinking ship in panic. Instead of saving, she Molina calmly reassure passengers, helped more than a dozen people on the boat and make a life jacket per passenger of his age. According to this witness, Ms. Molina deserves to be praised as a heroine.

British newspaper The Telegraph said Molina graduated tourism. She recruited into the team crew Costa Concordia. This trip is the third trip was her last trip.
From 2 weeks, Madeleine's parents and sister Soria Molina present at Giglio Island, looked forward every minute search results survivors. This result is a big shock but still a chance to see the relatives, at least more fortunate relatives of 16 others have not found correct.
Priests lie
Nearly a month ago, Massimo Donghi priest, pastor Besana Brianza, Monza town in northern Italy, told parishioners that will be absent for a week retreat and prayer. The truth is not true.
He Donghi to Civitavecchia harbor, north of the capital Rome, the ship Costa Concordia to make a 5 star trip around the Mediterranean seaports. He did not go alone, but put both mother and nephew were riding on a ship containing 4,200 passengers.
Dishonest priests were found when the grandchildren use Facebook for Donghi priest escaped. He also told her relatives and friends that when the ship started sinking, her uncle and tried to get in lifeboats. The escape was extremely hard with a nice finish. But for priests Donghi, graduating in theology from Milan, just starting trouble.
The priest must explain the reasons lie lay. The sheep thought he was meditating in a quiet place where there any doubt but he is enjoying the pleasures of strange but fascinating on a most luxurious yacht has 4 swimming pools, 5 restaurants , 13 bars, a casino, a discotheque and dozens sauna, spa.
Speaking to the Italian magazine Panorama, Donghi priest confided: "You want me to say now? I have nothing more to say. Although experiencing a shock, I was fine. I will talk to parishioners at the church. The comments of someone who is not important to me. "

The paradox of the sinking of Queen Vinalines


Vinalines can admit more urgency in the rescue, but by the confidence in the equipment on board an emergency should not be put out soon. Enterprise also said that nickel ore is not found in danger when a sailor insisted survive this.> Question about the fate Vinalines Queen> Relatives of sailors were received by 100 million> Each crew covered $ 40,000 coverage
More than 10 days after the sinking in waters northeast of the Philippines, the sad story of Queen Vinalines ship is still a big question mark. Information which mariner fortunate Dau Ngoc Hung Vinalines also bring in a press conference at 4 / 1 does not offer a thorough explanation. In contrast, there are far more questionable in place before the mixed messages are people in the broadcast.Many are the mixed messages in the broadcast at a press conference at 4 / 1.

At the press conference, General Director of Vinalines - Vietnamese Nguyen Canh admitted that business can carry out emergency measures if it is determined from the first case of danger. However, this business about getting lost contact for 80 to 10 hours for ships not too unusual, and absolute trust in the device signals an emergency on board. Thus, more than seven hours after the Queen found Vinalines last message, new businesses to request assistance center coordinate maritime search and rescue.
Talking to VnExpress.net, Captain Nguyen Minh Ngoc - who have many years experience operating nickel ore carriers, said that based on the messages previously transmitted Vinalines Queen, can not accept that this is an out of touch with common sense. Ngoc said, the ship tilted 18 degrees, plus shaken by the waves is around 40 degrees, clear Vinalines Queen facing great danger. Thus, the loss of contact hours and then the most obvious signs of danger to the ship and crew.
Mr. Nguyen Anh Vu, general director of the Center to coordinate maritime search and rescue also said that at the time of touch, Vinalines Queen faces the same danger at the three ships full load, 18 degree tilt winds and waves. "In such conditions, the possibility is very high sunk," said Vu identified
It has not received any information from the warning device is a hard thing to understand in the sinking Queen Vinalines. According to Captain Dinh Tat Thang, who had the same train back from Huangshan Sun piracy cases in Somalia, with a modern ship as Vinalines Queen will be at least 5 transmitter emergency signal, including the play straight up Satellite. "Enabling just one button and within 2 minutes can activate all five devices. In an emergency, in addition to the master, deck officer may be a signal," said Captain Victory .It disappeared without a trace is the biggest mystery of the sinking of Vinalines.

He Wins analysis, was found the ship tilted, the captain ordered everyone to wear life jackets individual clothing against heat loss and to the deck; mooring the lifeboat has been removed. This means that everyone imaginable severity of the situation and they have more time to prepare and have extra time to press the emergency signal, the captain Dinh Tat Thang said.
At a press conference at 4 / 1, more expertise from the Maritime Corporation has confirmed the ability to safely transport nickel ore. Mining Department Representative of the unit directly managing board even claim this is not a dangerous goods (only defined in the international law on transportation of goods thrust, move) if shipped to ships with limited moisture allows.
However, Dau Ngoc Hung sailor insisted he was always the captain and other crew members reminded of the danger level of hydrated nickel. Two mixed messages of this again shows a series of paradoxes in the case of Vinalines Queen - sinking mystery that even the insiders also can not give a satisfactory explanation
