ATHENS, Greece (March 3) -- A 26-foot wave smashed into a cruise ship carrying nearly 2,000 people in the Mediterranean on Wednesday, smashing glass windshields and killing two passengers, according to officials and news reports.
Another six people suffered light injuries, the Greek coast guard said in a statement. The victims were identified as a German and an Italian man.
Cmdr. Bernard Celier of the French maritime authority in the southwestern city of Toulon, on the Mediterranean coast, said there had been "no signs of the least problem with the Louis Majesty."
But he noted there had been winds of over 100 kilometers per hour (60 miles per hour) in the area.
The seas are raging
