Costa Concordia: Dramatic New Pictures From The Night The Cruise Liner Sank
ome of the first dramatic images depicting the last moments of the Costa Concordia have been caught on film, showing the stricken liner and lifeboats scattered in the black water.
Since the ship struck rocks off the island of Giglio, pictures of the sinking ship the Costa Concordia have been seen on news sites around the world, showing the liner semi-submerged in the surrounding sea.
However these are among the first pictures to show the cruise liner in the early hours of the tragedy.
In the images the Costa Concordia is still brightly lit, showing the ship as she looked before the disaster.
The illumination and its slight list show the extent of the disastrous crash, and how far it has tilted since rocks pierced the hull of the ship and began to let in water.
