The collapse of the liner "Costa Concordia"

The night of Friday 13 luxury cruise ship "Costa Concordia" with more than 3,200 passengers and 1,000 crew members on board hit a reef, tilted and partly sank off the coast of the island of Giglio, Italy. Already confirmed the death of six people, including two French passengers and one crew member from Peru. They all drowned in the Mediterranean after the crash. 14 people are still unaccounted for and rescuers continue to search for survivors. The accident occurred just a few hours after departure, and passengers have not been able to conduct safety training, so the evacuation of the ship was a mess. Captain Francesco Schettino was arrested. Among other charges, he was also accused that he had left the ship one of the first. Collected here are photos of the sunken "Costa Concordia", and attempts to find 14 passengers.
