Zuckerberg's Yacht Missed a Call | UK News

Mark Zuckerberg’s $300 million yacht, The Launchpad, allegedly ignored a distress call from a stranded skiff off Alaska—despite being nearby. While the Coast Guard deemed it non-emergency and broadcasted for help, the yacht was on a different radio channel, missing the alert until after the cruise ship Wilderness Legacy had already responded. Crew members reportedly booed when the captain announced the yacht didn’t answer, and critics question why the vessel stopped moving just as help was needed. Though U.S. law only requires assistance if a vessel is in imminent danger, the yacht’s proximity raises eyebrows—especially since Zuckerberg champions climate action while operating a fuel-guzzling mega-yacht that’s been cruising Alaska all summer.
