Night vision footage captured by the Italian coast guard helicopter on Friday shows hundreds of passengers being evacuated from the Costa Concordia as it lies stricken on its side.

As hopes fade for 29 passengers still missing from the luxury cruise liner Costa Concordia, which ran aground off Tuscany, divers use explosives to blow holes in the hull of the ship to allow better access to the submerged cabins. The holes will also act as escape routes for the divers.

  • he did the right thing even not thinking straight lifeboats look shit to me some did not get lowered

  • @tbirdsport302 I'm only 10 or whatever but apparently it was announced that u were evacuated until about an hour after the crew ship crashed.

    It may not be right it's just we did alot of research about it at school.

  • thumbs up for the caribbean cruise youtube ads

  • @tbirdsport302 I didn't realize people were climbing down over the hull on a rope ladder that night either. When I first seen the pics that night, it was listing slightly and they said they were getting the people off. When I got up the next morning it was on it's side. I didn't know it was on it's side before all the people were evacuated. Those rope ladders probably weren't much fun in the dark for children and old people.

  • @RoyalsKnight the captian didnt hide after escaping, he was placed under house arrest right now after being released from the prison by the judge

  • i had no idea it capsized that fast, looks like it was already on its side before everybody even got off.

  • I hate when people act like they know the entire story on here and point fingers at who was the fault of this tragic accident. Don't act like you know the full story if you really don't

  • @onceANexile Huh? What does the wreck of a 500 million dollar luxury cruise liner that thousands of people paid thousands of dollars to ride on have to do with socialism?
