The coast guard said 278 passengers and crew had to be evacuated from a ferry in northwestern Greece that caught fire overnight on Friday, while heading to southern Italy. Twelve people of the 291 who were on the Italy-bound Euroferry Olympia that caught fire near the Greek island of Corfu are reported missing, as efforts to douse the flame continued into the second day, hampered by gale-force winds
