Divers Blast Rescue Hole In Italian Cruise Ship

Giglio, Italy (CNN) -- Divers trying to locate survivors of the Costa Concordia cruise ship accident used explosives to blow a hole in the hull of the vessel to allow access for search-and-rescue teams, Italian Navy officials said Tuesday.

A total of 28 people remain missing following the wreck, which led to six deaths, Italian officials said Tuesday.

The list includes 14 Germans, six Italians, including a crew member, four French people, two Americans, and one each from Hungary, India and Peru, all of whom are crew members.

One person on that list was found dead Monday, but authorities have not specified which one it is.
