The luxury cruise liner Costa Concordia, carrying more than 4,200 people, ran aground late Friday near the coast of Tuscany, Italy. Six people died in the accident and 16 more remained unaccounted for Monday. The 290-metre long ship no lies almost flat on its starboard side, with a 50-metre long gash torn through its hull. There are almost three times as many passengers on the Costa Concordia as there are people living on Giglio Island, where the disaster occurred.
