Time to bring in the salvage companies.

This is the most hideous accident I have ever witnessed.  The crew was completely incompetent in conducting the safety of passengers.  Their only defense is the bizarre content of the disaster. 

If divers cannot find those missing there is a chance it is a dangerous situation to explore.  The divers need to assess the prospects of retrieving any people still within the hull of the ship.  The reality may be, those still missing are not within reach in the current position of the ship.

I am not familiar with the tides and underwater environment including stability of the soils, but, there is the possibility the ship could drift further offshore with arrival of rough weather, etc. 

The shipline should be held responsible in the most profound manner for this disaster.  Besides the missing and traumatized there will be a environmental disaster accompanying it.  I can't believe commercial interests of 'seeking cheap thrills for passengers' actually took priority over every other operational priority.  Amazing.  Competition is that tough, huh?  If competition is that tough then it isn't profitable to leave port at all.
