ROME (AP) — The Italian coast guard says a luxury cruise ship has run aground off the coast of Tuscany and that at least three bodies have been retrieved from the sea.
Cmdr. Francesco Paolillo told The Associated Press by telephone from the port city of Livorno early Saturday that there are “probably” at least three more dead, although he hasn’t received confirmation of those three. He said helicopters are evacuating some 50 people still aboard the Costa Concordia liner near the Tuscan island of Giglio.
