RETRANSMISSION TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE CROP - Italian navy divers approach the cruise ship Costa Concordia off the tiny Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy, Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012. Italian navy divers on Tuesday exploded holes in the hull of a cruise ship that grounded near a Tuscan island to speed the search for 29 missing passengers and crew while the seas remain relatively calm. The search intensified as prosecutors prepared to question the captain, who is accused of causing the wreck that left at least six dead by making a maneuver that the Italian cruise operator said was "unapproved and unauthorized."

ROME (AP) ? The captain of a grounded cruise ship is heard in a recording making excuses as an Italian coast guard official repeatedly orders him to get back on his crippled ship.
In a telephone conversation, the official berates the captain, who is on a lifeboat and repeatedly says he doesn't want to return to the ship even as passengers are still being evacuated. The ship struck a rock Friday evening and capsized.
The officer tells Francesco Schettino to reboard and assess the needs of passengers: "It is an order. Don't make any more excuses."
Schettino is finally heard agreeing to reboard. It is unclear whether he did.
Schettino has been jailed for investigation of manslaughter, abandoning ship and causing a shipwreck.
