Former Costa Concordia captain is suing his former employers for wrongful dismissal—and it looks like he wants his old job back, too.
Francesco Schettino gained international infamy when his ship, the Costa Concordia, plowed into rocks off the Tuscan coast, in an accident that killed 32 people.
Carnival Corp. said on Friday that its 2012 earnings would likely be down 82 per cent because of recent disasters that beset the world's largest cruise line.
"We have definitively stopped the underwater search inside the ship," said a spokesman for the Giglio fire brigade. "The conditions are no longer acceptable."
Divers have been scouring the site since the massive liner hit rocks and rolled onto its side near an island off of Italy’s Tuscan coast on Jan. 13, with more than 4,200 people aboard.
Passengers and crew have the option to pursue legal action if they are not satisfied with the offer. If they accept, however, they agree to drop all future legal action against Costa Cruises.
