A spokesperson for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the crew of his yacht did not hear a radio call seeking maritime assistance from a small skiff off the coast of Alaska. The skiff runs out of fuel and requests help, according to the accounts.
The spokesperson adds that by the time the yacht’s crew became aware of the situation, another nearby vessel had already responded and provided assistance. This explanation is reported by multiple outlets, including Global News and the Winnipeg Free Press.
One outlet emphasizes the lack of receipt of the call, while another includes the detail about a different ship already rendering aid when the yacht responded. Across sources, the core points remain consistent: a distress call related to a fuel shortage is reported, the yacht crew did not hear that broadcast, and assistance ultimately comes from another nearby vessel before or around the time the yacht becomes aware.
