Striking photos of tragedy in shallow waters as the Costa Concordia sinks
The Costa Concordia cruise ship ran aground off the west coast of Italy, at Giglio Island on Friday. Rescuers were painstakingly checking thousands of cabins on the Italian liner for 16 people still unaccounted for out of the 4,200 who were on board.
