World News Sunken cruise ship leaking 100 tons of oil into Aegean sea

Greek maritime officials are trying to contain up to 100 tons of oil continuing to leak from a Greek cruise ship that sank on a volcanic reef near the Aegean island of Santorini, leaving 2 people missing. The ship's captain and 5 other officers were indicted on charges of negligence, breaching safety regulations, and polluting the environment. The captain blamed strong currents for sweeping his vessel into the reef just before docking, but locals said that it took over 30 minutes to contact him for instructions on assisting the evacuation.
