Captain of wrecked Italian ship under house arrest
The captain of the Costa Concordia cruise liner that ran aground off the Italian coast on Friday is now under house arrest.
New video footage and a tape of a frantic conversation that Captain Francesco Schettino had with the coast guard indicate a desperate evacuation of the vessel.
The recordings present evidence that Schettino abandoned his ship while passengers were still on board, a move that could result in a class action lawsuit.
