Seven bodies were recovered from the sea after the Costa Concordia ran aground off the tiny island of Giglio near the coast of Tuscany late Friday, tearing a 160-foot gash in its hull and sending in a rush of water.

Authorities have accounted for 4,165 of the 4,234 people who had boarded the liner.
