The Costa Concordia ran aground Friday night off the tiny Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy, sending water pouring in through a 50-meter gash in the hull and forcing the evacuation of some 4,200 people from the listing vessel early Saturday, the Italian coast guard said. Three people were confimed dead, and authorities were still searching for missing people more than 24 hours later.
