Costa Concordia crew wearing life vest 'just in case'

Amateur video shows passengers walking the corridors of the stricken cruise ship Costa Concordia which capsized after hitting rocks off western Italy on Friday.

When asked why he is wearing a life vest if everything is ok, a crew member tells a concerned passenger "just in case".

The footage, which also shows lifeboats on the shore, and passengers in life jackets gathered in a church, was filmed by a Chilean family who were on the cruise.
