问题 What happened to the couple? [br]  
A couple from Minnesota reportedly are among the 16 people still missing since a cruise ship with thousands of people on board ran aground and capsized off the west coast of Italy Friday. The Associated Press identifies the passengers as Barbara and Jerry Heil of White Bear Lake. With at least six people confirmed dead, rescuers are racing to find possible survivors, but that operation was temporarily suspended today because the ship wreck poses a significant environmental threat to the region.
    There’s a lot of concern about the fuel that’s still aboard the vessel. (8) There are worries that there might be some sort of fuel spill in this area which is an area of outstanding natural beauty on the Tuscan coast. And there’s a great deal of concern about that, particularly after the ship appeared to slip further earlier today.
