At least three people were killed
and rescuers were searching for other victims after an Italian cruise
ship carrying more than 4,000 people ran aground and keeled over in
shallow waters.
Dozens were injured and around 50 people remained unaccounted for after the 114,500-tonne Costa Concordia hit a sandbar near the island of Giglio off the coast of Tuscany as passengers sat down to dinner on Friday evening.
Passengers spoke of panic and
described some people leaping into the sea from the listing ship, which
finally came to rest on its side, with decks partly submerged, a few
hundred meters from the shore.
