Here is some amateur video shot by some passengers of the Costa Concordia after they have disembarked the sinking ship and are being transferred to land. As short as the video is, it tells a lot. It’s obvious that the passengers (who are speaking english) are confused as to what is going on. It’s also clear that families were split up in the process. You can see that the Costa Concordia in the background is still upright, not listing heavily as the images of the vessel now show.
Below is another video, a bit more grainy and most likely shot by someone who was assisting with search and rescue operations.
