First video: Luxury Costa Concordia cruise ship runs aground

A cruise ship with over 4-thousand people on board has grounded off Italy's north-west coast. At least 3 bodies have been recovered, with more than a dozen others still missing. Most of those on board the Costa Concordia were evacuated from the vessel after it hit a reef near the Island of Giglio, late on Friday. Passengers reported a loud bang during dinner, and were told the ship had stopped because of electrical problems.

I imagine it would be hard to walk around on the ship with it being like that.

When the ship hit land, who turned off the power to the ship? did it naturally shut off or did a crew member shut it off? How long would the lights be on if nobody maintained backup power?
