Saved by frying pan
The last person to be taken alive from the wreck of Costa Concordia has revealed how a frying pan saved his life.
Ship's purser Manrico Giampedroni has been widely praised for helping passengers off the stricken cruiseship, but eventually slipped and broke his leg, trapping himself in a restaurant area.
After his release from hospital, he told reporters how he attracted the attention of rescuers after 36 hours on board.
"I remember ending up in the Milan restaurant... A door opened suddenly and I fell in," he said.
"I used a pan to make some noise. From the windows, I could see the rescue teams and I tried to scream. When I saw the first fireman I embraced him. Those guys were incredible. In three hours I was out of there."
