Captain of Costa Concordia visited the shipwreck

The captain of the ship, Francesko Schettino, stepped aboard the Costa Concordia today, for the first time since it capsized off Italy's coast with him at the controls more than two years ago.

Schettino arrived on Giglio aboard a ferry from Italy's mainland Tuesday night. He stepped onto the stricken vessel at noon.

Schettino was being allowed onto the ship as a defendant, in order to help investigators to their further investigation.

When the cruise ship ground into the rocky shore of the Italian island of Giglio on Jan. 13, 2012, 32 people lost their lives.
