At least two Americans are among the estimated 16 people missing after a cruise ship hit a reef on Friday night andcapsized off the west coast of Italy with 4,200 passengers and crew aboard. Six passengers have been confirmed dead since the Costa Concordia ran aground near Tuscany, tearing a 160-foot hole in its hull and causing the ship to sink. The captain, Francesco Schettino, 52, blames the disaster on rocks not on his navigational charts, but has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.
