"Two Hungarians are among the 40 people unaccounted for following the sinking of the Mediterranean cruise ship Costa Concordia off Italy on Friday night. Ten other Hungarians who were on board – five of them passengers and five of them crew members – have been contacted and all are safe. The two missing Hungarians were probably crew members, said Foreign Ministry spokesman József Tóth.More than 4,000 people were on the luxury liner, most of them Italian, French and German.
Tóth stressed that the ministry has not received official notification from Italian authorities as to how many Hungarians are involved."
