About 4,000 people were on board a cruise ship when it ran aground and tipped over off Italy’s west coast.
Passenger Luciano Castro told Ansa news agency: “We heard a loud noise while we were at dinner as if the keel of the ship hit something.”
“The ship started taking in water through the hole and began tilting.” - BBC News[Image: The Costa Concordia is seen listing off the west coast of Italy. Reuters via MSNBC]
