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.
Worsening weather and heavy seas earlier made the wreck slip on the rocky underwater slope where it is lodged off the island of Giglio and rescue teams were evacuated. But they returned to work after several hours. Six bodies have been found so far.
The vessel’s captain, Francesco Schettino, was arrested on Saturday. He is accused of manslaughter and abandoning his ship before all those on board were evacuated.
