Ferry fire: Missing Euroferry Olympia passenger found alive off Corfu - BBC News

One of the passengers missing aboard a ferry that caught fire near Greece on Friday has been found alive, authorities say.



The Belarusian truck driver, 21, used a ladder to climb down from the ferry on to a tugboat. His first words were: "Tell me I'm alive."

Hours later, firefighters found the first body of a missing passenger in a burnt-out lorry aboard the ship.

Ten people - all thought to be lorry drivers - are still unaccounted for.

The rescued man, who appeared to be in good health, told rescuers he had heard other voices below deck.

The Italian-flagged Euroferry Olympia caught fire en route to the Italian port of Brindisi.
