Search and Rescue contacted the ship a few minutes after p. A little more than an hour after impact, the crew began to evacuate the ship. Evacuation was made even more chaotic by the ship listing so far to starboard, making walking inside very difficult and lowering the lifeboats on one side, near to impossible.
Making things worse, the crew had dropped the anchor incorrectly, causing the ship to flop over even more dramatically. Through the confusion, the captain somehow made it into a lifeboat before everyone else had made it off.
Schettino argued that he fell into a lifeboat because of how the ship was listing to one side, but this argument proved unconvincing.

Shortly afterwards, passengers were told that the ship was suffering a "blackout", but that the situation was under control. The same information was given to the harbour master at Civitavecchia. Positioning data shows that the Costa Concordia turned and began to drift back towards the island's port soon after due to, investigators say, a combination of the wind and the rudder positioned to starboard right.
As it drifted, the ship then began to list in the opposite direction, possibly caused by water in the damaged hull rushing to the far side during the turn. At , the coastguard called the ship to say passengers were reporting problems to the local police, but the captain replied: "We have a blackout and we are checking the conditions on board.
At the captain gave orders to tell the coastguard that they had had a "failure" and needed help from tug boats. The radio operator did this and added that all the passengers had been given life jackets, none was injured and there was a gash in the left side of the ship. At the general emergency alarm was raised and passengers told to go to muster stations and await instructions.
By the ship had settled on the rocky sea bed, tilted by more than 30 degrees. The captain finally gave the order to abandon ship at at Most passengers escaped in lifeboats, but evacuation efforts were hampered by the angle of the tilting ship.
