The luxury cruise ship Costa Concordia starts to list on its starboard side after it ran aground off the coast of the Isola del Giglio island, Italy, forcing some 4,200 people aboard to evacuate aboard lifeboats to the nearby Isola del Giglio island on Friday, Jan. 13, 2012.
In this undated photo released by the Italian Navy Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012, the Costa Concordia cruise ship grounded off the Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy, is seen at night. A large platform carrying a crane and other equipment hitched itself to the toppled Costa Concordia on Tuesday, signaling the start of preliminary operations to remove a half-million gallons of fuel from the grounded cruise ship before it leaks into the pristine Tuscan sea. Actual pumping of the oil isn't expected to begin until Saturday, but officials from the Dutch shipwreck salvage firm Smit were seen on the bow of the Concordia and in the waters nearby making preparations to remove the fuel, while the search for missing passengers continues.
