29 Still Missing in Deadly Italian Cruise Ship Accident 
--------------------------------------------------------



Twenty-nine people remain missing after an Italian cruise ship ran
aground on Friday killing six and forcing thousands to flee the sinking
ship. The ship was owned by a subsidiary of the Florida-based Carnival
Corporation. Italy's environment minister has warned of an ecological
crisis if oil from the cruise ship spills off the island of Giglio, part
of a protected sanctuary for dolphins, porpoises and whales.
