2012년 1월 13일 이태리 기글리오섬에서 좌초되어 32명의 사망자를 낸 코스타 콘코르디아호의
수중 속 내부 사진이 공개됐다.
경찰 잠수부에 의해서 인양되기전에 촬영된 이 사진들은 당시의 처참한 상태를 고스란히 보여주고 있다.
32명의 사망자와 4200명의 승객과 승무원이 구조된 후 가라앉은 이 배는 자그마치 3억7천2백만 파운드의
가치를 포기해야 했다.
코스타 콘코르디아호는 며칠내에 제노아로 인양돼서 완전해체된 후 고철로 매각될 예정이다.

By Emma Glanfield This underwater video shows the haunting interior of the wrecked Costa Concordia cruise liner nearly two and a half years after it sank off the coast of Italy.
Italian police have released footage of the stricken cruise liner which struck rocks and sank off the Tuscan holiday island of Giglio, killing 32 people, in January 2012.
The video, taken by police divers, has been released just days before salvage workers attempt to re-float the 950 foot vessel and tow it to the northern Italian port of Genoa where it will be dismantled and sold for scrap. Scroll down for video
Italian police have released footage of the stricken cruise liner which struck rocks and sank off the Tuscan holiday island of Giglio, killing 32 people, in January 2012
The eerie footage shows the abandoned ship submerged in water and gives a haunting insight into the last moments of the luxury cruise liner which struck rocks with more than 4,200 passengers and crew on board. A total of 32 people drowned in the tragedy which occurred on January 13, 2012
The video, taken by police divers, has been released just days before salvage workers attempt to re-float the 950 foot vessel and tow it to the northern Italian port of Genoa where it will be dismantled and sold for scrap
The eerie footage shows the abandoned ship submerged in water and gives a haunting insight into the last moments of the luxury cruise liner which 4,200 passengers and crew fled after it struck shallow rocks.
However, while thousands managed to flee the stricken ship, 32 passengers drowned in the tragedy and captain Francesco Schettino remains on trial for charges of mass manslaughter and abandoning ship.
The 52-year-old faces allegations that he was showboating to onlookers on the holiday island before the ship grounded and has been accused of holding 2am trysts in his cabin with Moldovan dancer Domnica Cemortan, despite being a married man
However, he denies the claims and charges and says he didn't abandon ship but instead fell onto a lifeboat as the ship keeled over on the night of the disaster on January 13, 2012. He claims he then stayed on dry land because he wanted to co-ordinate the night-time evacuation from there. Divers entered the sunken £372million vessel after it was righted and secured in a complex operation – heralded the biggest of its kind - last September
Footage by police divers as they survey the ship shows mangled furniture, upturned possessions and the remains of what was once a £372million luxury cruise liner
Books, papers, clothing, flowers in a vase and staircases can all be seen in the haunting underwater footage which comes just days before the ship is towed to Genoa
