Five-year-old girl among eight bodies found on Costa Concordia The discovery of the bodies brought the confirmed death toll to 25, with at least seven people still missing. More than 4,200 passengers and crew had to be evacuated when the cruise ship ran aground after hitting a rocky shoal off Giglio as the captain allegedly performed a 'salute" to the island for the benefit of the ship's head waiter. A third of the passengers have accepted a one-off compensation payment of 11,000 euros offered by Costa Cruises. Many others are filing for much greater compensation and damages, amounting to tens of millions of pounds. A Dutch salvage company, Smit, has removed around two-thirds of the 500,000 gallons of fuel contained in the ship's tanks, but operations were again suspended yesterday due to bad weather.
