  Costa Concordia runs aground in Italy 

  Three people are confirmed dead after a cruise ship carrying more than 4,000 people ran aground off Italy.

  There were scenes of panic as the Costa Concordia hit a sandbar on Friday evening near the island of Giglio and listed about 20 degrees.

  Most people reached land by lifeboats but some swam to shore.

  At least 50 people have not yet been accounted for, Italian officials say, but they caution that the passenger list may not be fully up to date.

  Coast guard vessels are combing the waters around the ship, while divers are searching the submerged decks.
