Three die amid panic as cruise ship wrecked in Italy
PORTO SANTO STEFANO, Italy (Reuters) - Passengers from an Italian cruise ship described people leaping into the sea or fighting over lifejackets in panic after it ran aground, killing at least three people and leaving many unaccounted for. Around 40 people were injured, two seriously, and rescuers were continuing the search for the missing after the 114,500-tonne Costa Concordia, with 4,229 passengers and crew, hit a sandbar near the island of Giglio off the coast of Tuscany on Friday evening. Officials warned that figures were extremely uncertain because of confusion surrounding the rescue. "We are not sure of the numbers, we cannot exclude that some people are missing, in fact it is very probable," said Ennio Aquilini, head of the fire service rescue operation. "It could be 10, 20 up to 40 but I cannot give anything more precise. There is a possibility that no one is missing." Passengers had just sat down to dinner, a couple of hours after leaving
