Mediteranian Cruise ship runs aground, 4200 evacuated
A sailing boat passes in front of the luxury cruise ship Costa Concordia leaning on its side after running aground off the tiny Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy, Sunday, Jan. 15, 2012. The Costa Concordia cruise ship ran aground off the coast of Tuscany, sending water pouring in through a 160-foot (50-meter) gash in the hull and forcing the evacuation of some 4,200 people from the listing vessel early Saturday, the Italian coast guard said.
