In a heartbreaking tragedy, a Carnival cruise ship was caught in a powerful storm while navigating the open seas, leading to the loss of ten lives and dozens of injuries. The incident occurred late Saturday night, when the ship, Carnival Horizon, was en route to a Caribbean destination. Officials say the ship encountered unexpected severe weather, including high winds and heavy waves, causing it to capsize in the turbulent waters.
Survivors reported a harrowing scene as the ship began to tilt, with passengers scrambling for safety. The coast guard and nearby vessels launched an immediate rescue operation, saving hundreds of people. However, despite their efforts, the wreckage claimed the lives of at least ten passengers, whose identities have not yet been released.
Carnival Cruise Lines issued a statement expressing their deepest condolences and promised full cooperation with authorities in the investigation. “This is an unimaginable tragedy, and our hearts are with the victims and their families,” the statement read.
As recovery efforts continue, questions arise about the ship’s preparedness and the speed of its response to the rapidly worsening conditions. Authorities have confirmed that an inquiry into the disaster is underway, and further details will be revealed as the situation unfolds.
