Meta says the crew on Mark Zuckerberg’s 387-foot yacht, Launchpad, didn’t hear a call for help from a stranded vessel off Alaska’s coast. The spokesperson told CBS News that by the time Launchpad received the radio call, another ship had already assisted. An Alaska Beacon report said the distress request came Aug. 8 from a 21-foot skiff that ran out of fuel between Petersburg and Juneau. That skiff was ultimately towed to Farragut Bay by the cruise ship Wilderness Legacy. A passenger, Michael Love, posted that Zuckerberg’s yacht was closer but didn’t respond on the same channel. Meta added Zuckerberg’s family wasn’t aboard and said no parties were in distress.
