ITALY-GREECE-FERRY-RESCUE
A photo grab taken from a video made available by the Aeronautica Militare Italiana on December 28, 2014, shows the burning ferry "Norman Atlantic" adrift off Albania. Desperate passengers pleaded by mobile phone live on TV to be saved from a burning ferry adrift off Albania as rescuers battled gale-force winds and billowing smoke to get to them. "I cannot breath, we are all going to burn like rats -- God save us," cried one of the ship's cooks in a call to his wife, she told journalists. But with gusts of up to 100 kilometres (60 miles) per hour making rescue difficult and dangerous, the crew has so far only managed to get 150 of the 478 people off the stricken "Norman Atlantic", Greek officials said. Seas were so violent that only 56 of those have so far been lifted from a lifeboat to a tanker that came to their aid, Greek Marine Minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis said hours into the emergency.
