“The corridor was very narrow, and the divers’ lines risked snagging” on objects in the passageway, he said. Italian navy divers preceded the coast guard crew, creating blast holes for easier access to the ship, he said.
She was not immediately identified, according to the report.
So far, 21 people are listed as missing.
