Luxury ship runs aground off Italy
Italy (Reuters) -Around 40 people were injured, two seriously, and rescuers were continuing the search for the missing after the 114,500-tonne Costa Concordia, with 4,229 passengers and crew, hit a sandbar near the island of Giglio off the coast of Tuscany on Friday evening.
Three bodies were recovered and 4,200 people evacuated after luxury cruise ship ran aground off the coast of Tuscany, sending water pouring through a 160-foot gash in the hull. Passengers complained the crew failed to give evacuation instructions and that a drill was only scheduled for this afternoon. Authorities still hadn't counted all the survivors, the Associated Press reported.
