Zuckerberg Yacht Ignored Distress Call | Winnipeg News
Description
A skiff ran out of gas off Alaska’s coast, prompting the Coast Guard to call for help — and a nearby cruise ship stepped in to rescue them. But tensions flared when passengers claimed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht, the Launchpad, was closer and refused to respond, leading to boos after the rescue. The yacht’s team says they missed the call entirely — operating on the wrong radio channel — and that Zuckerberg and his family weren’t even onboard. Everyone’s safe, but the incident sparked a messy mix of blame and relief.
