Cruise巡航 disaster


The major inquiry(疑問) into how this disaster(災難, 意外) came about is now gathering(蒐集) momentum(氣勢)=蓄勢待發, and more and more, the actions of the captain are coming under suspicion(懷疑).

He's maintained that his vessel(船隻) was far enough out to sea and that whatever it struck擊中 was not marked on his charts.

The coastguard(海岸警衛隊) however says the vessel was just too close to this rocky(岩石) shoreline(海岸線) and a statement by the captain's employers says that he may have made what it described as "significant errors(重大錯誤)".

Meanwhile the search of the wreck沈船 has continued through the night and at around 2 am, one of the teams working its way through the maze迷宮 of cabins小木屋, 船的房間 and other rooms, found the body of a man lying in a corridor走廊.

He's yet to be identified but he's believed to have been a passenger rather than a member of the crew船員.

The discovery of this latest body brings to six the number of people confirmed to have died in the disaster.
