The wrecked Costa Concordia cruise ship limped into the Italian port of Genoa on Sunday to be scrapped two-and-a-half years after it capsized in a tragedy that claimed 32 lives.
For the first time ever an operation to salvage a cruise ship as enormous as the Costa Concordia was put in motion on Monday off the coast of Italy, near the island of Giglio.
The luxury liner, Costa Concordia, was carrying more than 4,200 people, many of whom were having dinner at the restaurant when it hit a reef or rock near the Tuscan Island of Giglio
