A boating incident off the coast of Alaska has stirred controversy after a skiff ran out of fuel and made a distress call via the United States Coast Guard. The Coast Guard's radio call was not responded to by Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg's yacht, Launchpad, despite being in close proximity. According to reports from Alaska Beacon, a nearby small cruise ship, the Wilderness Legacy, provided assistance instead. The incident occurred last week, with Michael Love, a passenger aboard the Wilderness Legacy, describing the event on Bluesky. Passengers reportedly booed when they learned that Zuckerberg's yacht had not responded to the distress call. However, Zuckerberg's spokesperson has clarified that he was not on board at the time. The Coast Guard later determined that the skiff was not in immediate danger, and by the time Zuckerberg's crew reviewed the contact, the Wilderness Legacy's assistance was already underway. All parties involved were reportedly safe following the incident.
