A Cruise Liner going by the Tuscan Islands has crashed and is sinking slowly. 11 people have already died and two dozen people are missing from the ship wreck. The ship was cruising along at night and then suddenly they hit a rock. What some survivors are saying, was that they were at dinner and they could here this vibrating sound that is caused by the propellers, but this time when it vibrated it was a lot louder. and then all of a sudden the glass that were on the dinner table started shifting. The chairs and tables started flying to the other side of the ship.
After they ran to the top of the boat and people took there clothes off and swam to the shore, 200 hundred people swam to shore, the distance from the boat to the shore was 300 feet. What the rescuers are doing is getting diver and blowing holes int he bottom of the hull, so that the divers can look for survivors that didn't make it out. There isn't that much information about how the accident occurred but if more happens i will keep you posted.
