ITALY FERRY FIRE
Medical personnel waits at the Palermo harbor for the arrival of the ferry Snav Sardegna, carrying passengers evacuated from another ferry Friday, May 29, 2009, after a fire broke out in the car hold. The Vincenzo Florio, traveling from Naples to Palermo, was 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the Sicilian capital when the fire broke out and 526 passengers used lifeboats to reach another ferry and a Coast Guard ship that came to the rescue. Five passengers, including a pregnant woman, were taken to a hospital as a precaution. (AP Photo/Alessandro Fucarini)
