Tourists take photographs of the Costa Concordia wreckage as they arrive on a ferry to the Giglio Island, Italy, Thursday, July 12, 2012. Works have begun to remove the tons of rocky reef embedded into the Concordia cruise ship's hull, a first step in plans to eventually tow the wreck away from the island, where it ran aground last January. The whole removal process could take as long as a year. In a broadcast interview Tuesday, Concordia's captain Francesco Schettino described the collision as a "banal accident" in which "destiny" played a role. (AP Photo/Gregorio Borgia)
