When I just logged on to the internet this came up on Yahoo home page.
41 people still missing and the Captain and his XO have been arrested for their actions and abandoning ship before all passengers were safely removed from the vessel.

See ya,
Kelly

I was aboard a Navy ship that ran aground. Interesting experience although we didn't sink. Got pulled off at high tide. Commanding Officer was relieved after being in charge for only a week.
