Zuckerberg's Yacht Ignored Sea Distress | Wilmington News

A stranded skiff off Alaska’s coast was rescued by a cruise ship — but Mark Zuckerberg’s nearby yacht allegedly ignored the distress call. Though closer, his crew claimed they didn’t hear the initial radio plea and said the skiff wasn’t in immediate danger. Maritime law demands assistance unless it endangers the rescuer, and some passengers on the rescue ship reportedly booed when the captain mentioned Zuckerberg’s yacht’s silence. His spokesperson added that Zuckerberg and family weren’t aboard, and by the time his crew saw the alert, help had already arrived.
