One week after the Costa Concordia yachts fell off the coast of Italy, leaving at least 11 people dead and 21 missing, newlyweds Benji Smith and Emily Lau said they were still trying to get their lives back together as they know how to keep those determined responsible for accidents are responsible.
“When we first came out of our ships have the adrenaline to keep us pumping and moving,” said Smith. “It is very difficult for us to imagine even work. This is all that we can focus on. “
The couple believes shipping company, Costa Concordia, and not just the ship’s captain, should be responsible for 11 deaths and injuries, emotional and physical abuse survivors. But Smith and Lau also voiced anger at the Government of Italy and the US Embassy for what they believed their attitude after his escape on the island of Giglio.
More than 120 u.s. citizens who reported on cruise ships, including some missing from Minnesota, Jerry and Barbara Heil.
Lau, “the US Embassy told them it might not be able to send people to the US,” said when she and her husband was interviewed on “Good Morning America” Monday. “The police said Italy Costa is owned by Carnival, so it is a matter of United States and they can’t do anything about it.”
