VIDEO & PHOTO REPORT: Disaster at Sea off the Italian Coastline- the Costa Concordia runs aground on rocks & sinks

Panic ensues after a luxury cruise ship dubbed the "Floating Temple of Fun" runs aground off Italy's coast line.

Two survivors of a cruise ship grounding who were found nearly a day after the ship rolled onto its side have been identified as a South Korean couple on their honeymoon.
Prato fire commander Vincenzo Bennardo told The Associated Press that rescuers who had been banging on doors of the ship cabins all night finally heard a reply from one of the rooms early Sunday. He said the two, about 29 years old, were in good condition. He said the rescuers never stopped going door-to-door during the night in the non-submerged part of the ship.
