ROME (AP) — Search efforts aboard the capsized Costa Concordia resumed Wednesday, even as the official overseeing the operation acknowledged for the first time it would take a miracle to find any more survivors from the ship’s Jan. 13 grounding.
Franco Gabrielli, head of Italy’s national civil protection agency, told reporters that rescuers would keep searching the ship until every reachable area is inspected.

About 1,000 Italian passengers were onboard, as well as more than 500 Germans, about 160 French and about 1,000 crew members.
