A video has emerged showing the crew of the Costa Concordia reassuring passengers nothing was wrong, after the cruise ship had begun taking in water.
In the amateur footage, a crew member says "everything is under control" and asks passengers to go to their cabins.It is thought the delay in deciding to abandon the ship may have cost lives. At least 11 people died.Rescue workers have suspended their search once again after the ship shifted in choppy waters on Friday.The boat's movements have twice before hampered the work of rescuers, with the search suspended almost all day on Wednesday.The ship may have only moved by a metre or as little as a few centimetres, but officials fear it could suddenly slip into much deeper water, says the BBC's Alan Johnston at the scene.The Costa Concordia ran aground off Italy's coast a week ago with some 4,200 people on board.Twenty-one people are still missing, and hopes to find any of them alive are fading fast.
