OMG!! Ships and helicopters are taking part in a major rescue operation after an Italian ferry carrying 478 people caught fire north-west of Corfu. One person has died after jumping from the ship and another has been confirmed injured, officials say. A total of 190 people have been rescued but more than 280 remain on the Norman Atlantic which was travelling from Patras in Greece to Ancona in Italy. Choppy seas and strong winds are hampering the night-time rescue. Most of those on board were Greek. Others came from Italy, Turkey, Albania, Germany and many other countries, officials said. A passenger manifest said that two Britons were on board, but the BBC understands that there may have been as many as six.
