Costa Concordia accident: Video of dramatic rescue operation

January 14, 2012

A cruise ship with over 4-thousand people on board has grounded off Italy's north-west coast.

At least 3 bodies have been recovered, with more than a dozen others still missing.

Most of those on board the Costa Concordia were evacuated from the vessel after it hit a reef near the Island of Giglio, late on Friday.

Passengers reported a loud bang during dinner, and were told the ship had stopped because of electrical problems.
