Italy Deaths as Genoa Ship Hits Control Tower
Seven people have died and three are missing after a container ship crashed into a control tower in the Italian port of Genoa, officials say.
The Jolly Nero smashed into the 50m (164ft) concrete and glass tower late on Tuesday, causing it to collapse.
Rescue workers have been searching in the rubble for survivors while divers are scouring the surrounding water.
Local media reports say prosecutors have placed the ship’s captain under investigation for manslaughter.
The vessel has also been impounded and its “black box” seized by investigators, according to Italy’s Ansa news agency.
