...." Le paquebot Costa Concordia avait, à 19 heures, quitté le port de Civitavecchia, près de Rome, et faisait route vers Savone à l'issue d'une croisière de 8 jours en Méditerranée.
Il y avait 4229 personnes à bord, dont un millier de membre d'équipage et 462 Français, le Concordia étant en tête de ligne à Marseille, où il devait arriver demain.
Le navire s'est encastré dans un récif vers 21H40, alors qu'il naviguait près de l'île du Giglio, (au sud de la Toscane) une zone naturelle dont les hauts fonds sont très prisés des plongeurs....
... Une.enquête nautique est en cours afin de déterminer les causes exactes de l'accident. Il pourrait s'agir d'une erreur de navigation, humaine ou technique car, apparemment, le navire se serait écarté de sa route. Il évoluait en tous cas bien trop près de la côte, avec un cap étrange qui le rapprochait progressivement de l'île. Au moment de l'accident, le commandant participait au dîner de gala, ce qui n'a rien d'anormal, l'état-major d'un navire comprenant d'autres officiers à même d'assurer la conduite du bateau. Cet accident est en tous cas le plus grave connu par Costa Croisières et le premier impliquant un paquebot géant.
Le Costa Concordia est un navire récent. Construit par les chantiers italiens Fincantieri, il a été mis en service en 2006. Long de 290 mètres pour une largeur de 35.5 mètres, ce navire de 114.500 tonneaux compte 1500 cabines. Il pouvait embarquer jusqu'à 3780 passagers et 1110 membres d'équipage "....

Les scènes d'évacuation du paquebot ne sont pas sans rappeler celles du paquebot italien ANDREA DORIA en juillet 1956 où l'équipage avait montré un courage très relatif en quittant le navire avant les passagers.
Le commandant du paquebot COSTA CONCORDIA a quitté le paquebot alors qu'il restait des passagers à bord.

Le paquebot COSTA CONCORDIA connait actuellement une gite comparable à celle qui a entrainée la perte définitive du paquebot s/s NORMANDIE.
Il reste désormais à voir comment le navire,... maintenant devenue une épave... pourra être enlevé de la côte de l'île pour cette côte protégée..

... A nautical investigation is in progress to determine the exact causes of the accident.
It could involve an error of navigation, human or technical because, apparently, the ship would have deviated from its road.
She sailed in any case too closer of the coast, with a strange course which make the ship gradually closer to the island.
At the time of the accident, Captain participated in the gala dinner, what is very usual on passenger ships, the staff of a ship including other officers to assure the navigation of the ship.
This accident is the gravest in any case known by Costa Croisières and the first one involving a mega cruise ship.

The scenes of evacuation of the passenger ship are very similar to those of the Italian passenger ship ANDREA DORIA in July, 1956 when the crew had shown a very relative courage by leaving the ship before the passengers.
Captain of the passenger ship COSTA CONCORDIA left the passenger ship while there were passengers on board.
The passenger ship COSTA CONCORDIA knows at present a gite comparable to the one who has given the definitive loss of the passenger ship s/s NORMANDIE.
