Death toll from gangway collapse rises to 15
Flags flew at half-mast throughout St Nazaire in France today as the industrial port city mourned the deaths of 15 people killed when a crowded gangway leading to the docked luxury ship Queen Mary 2 suddenly collapsed.
The accident on Saturday in western France at the world’s largest and most expensive ocean liner initially claimed 13 lives, but two more people had died of their injuries by this morning, officials at the local prefecture said.
