Shock for local dancer after cruise tragedy

by isleofman.com 14th January 2012

A professional dancer from the Isle of Man is counting her blessings after leaving the Costa Concordia in September of last year.

Becky Peace was working on board the massive cruise liner for much of 2011 after joining the entertainment staff in February.

At least three people have been confirmed dead after the liner hit a sandbank off the coast of Italy on Friday evening.

It's now lying on its side in the water close to the Island of Giglio. Some of the 3,200 passengers still haven't been accounted for.

Beck says when she heard the news, she couldn't believe it.
