Two survivors, blocked inside the the luxury cruise ship that ran aground near the coast of Tuscany late Friday, were rescied on Sunday morning, BBC said.
The South Korean couple was on honeymoon when their ship, The Costa Concordia liner with over 4,200 passengers on board, ran aground off the Isola del Giglio island. At least three people - two French passengers and a crewmember from Peru - were killed and 67 were injured.
With at least 40 passengers still unaccounted for, divers had to suspend the search after dark resumed it at dawn.
Divers have also located the ship’s voice recorder, which investigators believe will help to establish the cause of the deadly shipwreck.
Italian prosecutors said they detained Captain Francesco Schettino and First Mate Ciro Ambrosio. They are suspected of manslaughter and abandoning ship in distress.
Schettino was interviewed for several hours before being taken to a pretrial detention facility. He said that the Costa Concordia hit reefs that were not marked on the navigation map.
