Costa Concordia Disaster: New Photos Show Ship Hours After It Ran Aground

New photos have surfaced showing the Costa Concordia in the immediate hours after the cruise liner ran aground off the coast of Italy's Isola del Giglio.
The Costa Concordia rammed into a reef and capsized on the night of January 13 when it steered too close to the Tuscan coast. The ship was on a cruise of the Mediterranean and had 4,200 people aboard. The bodies of 16 people killed in the disaster have been found, and 17 remain missing.
The ship's captain, Francesco Schettino, has been accused of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning the ship before all passengers were evacuated. He is currently under house arrest.
In this pictures taken on Friday, Jan. 13, 2012 and made available on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012, the luxury cruise ship Costa Concordia lays on its starboard side after it ran aground off the coast of the Isola del Giglio island, Italy, gashing open the hull and forcing some 4,200 people aboard to evacuate aboard lifeboats to the nearby Isola del Giglio island. About 1,000 Italian passengers were onboard, as well as more than 500 Germans, about 160 French and about 1,000 crew members. (AP)
