Ship Crashes Into Port, Three People Dead

At least three people have died and several are missing after a container ship smashed into a control tower in the port of Genoa.

Six others have been reported seriously injured.
An employee of the Messina Line company, based in Genoa which owns the vessel, confirmed that "there was an accident when the ship was leaving the port".
"It ran into the tower, but we don't know why at this point, nor how many people are hurt," he said.

The container ship, the Italian Jolly Nero, is almost 200m (655ft) long, 30m (98ft) wide, and weighs over 40,500 tonnes.
The ship's owner, Stefano Messina, said: "We are all utterly shocked. Nothing like this has ever happened before, we are desperate."
New reports said the captain was being questioned by police.
The impact happened during a shift change at the tower which meant that more people were present.
