Explosion on Italian Ship

Rescuers in Italy have blasted four holes into the cruise ship that went aground and capsized on February 13. Divers have had increasing problems with safe access while searching the ship for survivors and the dead. This video shows the blasting of one hole. It is still unknown what will happen with the ship. The fuel will be removed from 17 tanks over the next two to four weeks. A computer model will be made to see if the ship would break in two if it was righted. The worst case scenario would be to have to cut it apart.
