An injured passenger arrives at the Antonio Perrino hospital in Brindisi, southern Italy, rescued from the burning ferry "Norman Atlantic" adrift off the coast of Albania, on December 28, 2014. Rescuers battled in the dark to save more than 300 trapped passengers from a burning Italian ferry as coastguards reported the first death in the high-seas drama. The Greek maritime ministry said 268 of the passengers were Greek, with the crew made up of 22 Italians and 34 Greeks. But the rest of the passengers were made up of 54 Turks, 44 Italians, 22 Albanians, 18 Germans, 10 Swiss, nine French, and Russian, Austrian, British and Dutch nationals.
