A 21-foot boat ran out of fuel while traveling through the waters of southeastern Alaska. Now, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg is under fire as his private yacht was reportedly closer than the vessel that ultimately came to help.
According to the Alaska Beacon, vessel-tracking data showed Zuckerberg's 387-foot superyacht, Launchpad, was near Farragut Bay when the ***** istance request went out.
It seems that Launchpad did not ***** ist, but a 192-foot cruise ship called Wilderness Legacy turned back instead, towed the small boat into Farragut Bay, and provided fuel.
A passenger on the cruise ship claimed the yacht repeatedly refused to respond, while Zuckerberg's spokesperson said its crew did not initially hear the radio request.
