The fuel and oil is still and risk and needs to be removed but weather is currently too rough.
There are still at this stage people missing and some dead.
There is confusion on the reason for the collision as the captain says the maps showed there was only deep water there but the company says he deviated off course. Some say he deserted ship and he says he was the last to leave. Currently he is under arrest.
The passengers said the crew did not help and they had no drill before hand after boarding the cruise ship.
People panicked and there was chaos and pushing and shoving. Some jumped overboad despite the cold waters and swam.
The danger is that as a ship sinks in creates and pull on the surrounding water and can drag survivors in the water under as well.
