Video: Rough sea stalls ship recovery

Bad weather is hampering the recovery efforts at the site the capsized cruise ship in Giglio, Italy. NBC's Michelle Kosinski reports.

>> start in italy for you where rough seas are delaying recovery and salvage operations at the site of the cruise ship disaster there. nbc's michelle kosinski is in giglio with the very latest for us. michelle, good morning.

>> reporter: good morning, thomas. this is exactly what searchers did not want to happen at this stage. bad weather , in the form of big waves. you can see them around the ship, crashing into it today. and actually causing it to move, to sink deeper, at the rate of about a centimeter an hour. i know that doesn't sound like much. we're talking about a 1,000 foot long cruise ship here but that is enough instability to make things dangerous for divers and to force them out of the water today. both in their quest to find more of the missing victims, and in their attempt to remove all of the fuel on board. this is a big problem for them. more of a delay, although yesterday divers were able to recover the body of the ship's young peruvian cocktail waitress found in a submerged deck where people were told to wait to be rescued. thomas?

>> nbc's michelle kosinski in italy for us. michelle, thank you.
