Murray, KY – The family of a Bowling Green woman says she is safe and on her way home after escaping from a cruise ship that ran aground in Italy killing at least five people. Sarah Moore says her daughter, Lauren Moore, was among thousands who were aboard the cruise ship Costa Concordia. She says her daughter had just started a 10-day Mediterranean cruise Friday night when the ship ran aground. Lauren More was not the only Kentuckian on the cruise, Kentucky resident Joe Ryan also survived and was trying to get home, according to his father. Divers were searching for 15 passengers who remained missing.
