Odd news report - searching for "missing people"

This video arrived today about divers finding two more bodies...

It's too bad the waters around Giglio are being made toxic by decomposing food and other materials by the ship.

But is odd in The video is that they say "the problem is that there are reports of several unregistered people being in the ship and they have to find them."

Ummm... first of all, I worked in ships and unregistered people never happens. Even stowaways are very rare. It just isn't that easy to get on a ship.

Furthermore - they already busted three people for saying they had relatives onboard when they didn't.

And third - what are the chances all of those "unregistered" people would be among the missing?

Paul, this report is actuall one that happened a couple of days ago. the reason I know is because they state it brings the total to 15 and that they were found in the internet cafe, which was reported at least 2 days ago. I just checked and this was posted on YouTube on the 23rd.

It's hardly on our news now, well down the pecking order.
