Officials now say the number of people missing from a cruise ship that ran aground over the weekend has grown to 29.

Not only are Italian prosecutors stepping up their criticism of the ship’s captain – the company he works for is also criticizing his actions. Costa Cruises calls them “unapproved, unauthorized and unknown” to the cruise line.

So far six people are confirmed dead; and the captain now faces charges ranging from manslaughter to abandoning ship.

Today Lisa Hepfner spoke to another passenger ship captain about how this could have happened.
