Ferry passengers reunited with loved ones after being evacuated from burning ship

(30 Dec 2014) Forty-three survivors of the Norman Atlantic ferry fire were brought to Athens late on Monday evening by military transport plane. They were brought from Bari, Italy to the Elefsina Air Force Base west of the Greek capital. About 50 relatives and friends of the ferry passengers gathered outside the base gates for up to three hours, awaiting news of their loved ones. A Greek Air Force official read out the names of the 43 people who had been brought to Athens on the plane. Several people were disappointed - at least one woman was in tears - after the list was read out and they learned that their loved ones were not amongst the survivors on the plane. At least 10 people were killed after the ferry travelling from Greece to Italy caught fire on Sunday night. Italian and Greek helicopter rescue crews on Monday evacuated the last of the known survivors aboard the crippled, fire-blackened vessel, bringing the number rescued to 427.
