Cruise ship wrecked in Italy killing at least three
Passengers fighting over life jackets and leapimg into the sea in a total panic when a italian cruise ship ran aground and keeled over, tragiclly killing at least three and leaving dozens more missing at sea.
Italian officals could not say how manyof the 4,229 passengers and crew on board the 1114,500-tonne Costa Concordia were missing at sea. people were trying to steal life jackets from each other most could only get them for the children.
The vessel was left capsized on its side in water 15-20 meters deep, with decks partly submerged, not far from the shore. A large gash was visible on its side.
Officials said the search would continue overnight although darkness and the cold seas would make the work difficult.
Different officials gave varying estimates of the number of missing, with some talking of as many as 70 but there remained considerable uncertainty over how many were really missing and how many had simply not been counted in the confusion.
