FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“It was just like something out of the Titanic,” one woman said. “You
could tell straight away that the ship had hit something and no way was it
an electrical fault.’
Fabio Costa, who worked in a shop on the stricken cruise ship, said a number
of people were jumping into the sea to swim ashore.
Describing the moment the boat began to list, he told the BBC: “All of a
sudden we felt the boat hitting something and everything just started to
fall, all the glasses broke and everybody started to panic and run.
“We could only feel that the boat had hit something, we had no idea how
serious it was until we got out and we looked through the window and we saw
the water getting closer and closer.
“Everything happened really, really fast and we saw the water coming in.”
Mr Costa said that once the emergency alarm was set off people started to
panic and push each other in a bid to get into lifeboats.
“A lot of people were falling down the stairs and were hurt because
things fell on them,” he added.
The worker said it took the crew a long time to launch the lifeboats as the
vessel had listed so much.
He said: “We just saw a huge rock, that was probably where the ship hit,
and people were having huge trouble trying to get on the lifeboats. So at
that point we didn’t know what to do so it took hours for people to get off
the ship.
“It was easier for people to jump into the sea because we were on the
same level as that water so some people pretty much just decided to swim as
they were not able to get on the lifeboats.”
The Costa Crociera company, which operates the seven-day Mediterranean cruise,
said there were 1,000 Italians on the ships as well as 500 Germans and
around 150 French people but could not confirm whether any Britons were
among the evacuated.
A local mayor on the island of Giglio said he was trying to find rooms to
house the stranded people overnight.
The company said it was not clear what caused the fault and that an
investigation was under way.
The cruise ship had set off from the Civitavecchia port near Rome earlier on
Friday and had been due to visit Palermo, Cagliari, Palma, Barcelona and
Marseille.
The ship is described on the firm’s website as “one of the biggest ships in
the Costa fleet, a real floating temple of fun that will amaze you.”
Prices begin at around £400 but can exceed £1,200 for the first-class cabins.
