GIGLIO, Italy (AP) ? Residents of Giglio are growing increasingly worried about threats to the environment and the future of the Italian island as bad weather again forced suspension of the recovery operation of the capsized cruise ship Costa Concordia.
Officials on Monday set off another explosion in an underwater compartment but held off both operations to remove 500,000 gallons of fuel and the search for people still missing because of rough seas.
Residents are concerned after being told that it will take up to 10 months to remove the cruise ship, and have called for an island-wide meeting to discuss how to protect their interests.
Officials have recovered 17 bodies from the Jan. 13 disaster. Sixteen crew and passengers remain listed as missing.
