Costa Concordia
Rescue workers inspect the scene of a damaged control tower in the port of Genoa on May 8, 2013, after a container ship smashed into the tower leaving at least three people dead and several missing in a night-time accident. The accident, which took place at around half past midnight (2230 GMT, May 7), spooked Italians still reeling from the Costa Concordia night-time shipwreck off Giglio island in January 2012 which left 32 people dead.
