Update: Eighth Body Discovered in Deadly Jolly Nero Collision
Official footage shows scale of damage after a ship crashed into a control tower at Genoa port with deadly consequences.
An eighth body has been discovered at the site of a fatal ship collision in Italy’s Port of Genoa, and a ninth crewman was still missing Saturday.
The body was found under debris, three days after a container ship, the Jolly Nero, crashed into a 54-meter-high tower used by harbor pilots. A port authority pilot was steering the vessel at the time.
The cause of the collision remains unknown.
The pilots' tower collapsed and 13 people working inside were thrown into the water or buried in debris. Four survived injured.
