FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Salvage experts will not be able to start pumping out the 2,500 tons of fuel
on board until rescuers have completed their search for 16 people who are
still missing. The liner, which ran aground on Friday night, is wedged on
rocks at a depth of about 45ft. It is fully loaded with diesel and oil
because it had just left Civitavecchia for a week-long Mediterranean cruise
when it ran aground.
Salvagers from around the world have converged on the tiny island off the
coast of Tuscany to assess how to try to raise the liner. “It’s like it’s
balancing on top of a cliff,” said a British expert, who asked not to be
named, in Giglio’s tiny port, which has a direct view of the liner.
Another salvage specialist said: “We think the hull has been pierced by a
couple of pinnacles of rock but if it starts moving around a lot, it could
break free, and that would be a big problem.”
Corrado Clini, the environment minister, admitted that time was running out on
attempts to prevent a disaster.
Pier Luigi Foschi, chairman and chief executive of the ship’s owners, Costa
Cruises, said: “We are in the emergency phase of trying to prevent
pollution.”
The company hopes to be able to refloat the ship but if those efforts fail, it
might have to be cut up for scrap.
Environmental groups have said for years that big cruise ships should be
banned from coming too close to the Tuscan archipelago.
“The disaster unfortunately proves the unsustainability of the type of tourism
that exploits and tramples on Italy’s beauty and cultural heritage,” said
Alessandra Mottola Molfino, of Italia Nostra.
