Mark Zuckerberg's yacht reportedly ignored Coast Guard distress call
This just in, Mark Zuckerberg shoots albatross from the bow of his yacht.
It’s funny because could there possibly be an easier way for a billionaire to get good press? You rescue the sailors, treat them to a nice meal on your yacht, smile for the cameras. Every flack who works for Zuckerberg is like “how could you possibly screw this one up?”
If he were trying to save me, I'd probably choose the icy depths out of fear I'd have to talk to him
I saw him at one of my favorite brunch places in Palo Alto and his security was keeping people away from the covered tables in the rain. That's when I started calling him 'Little Caesar' in my head.
This expanse reboot is slow and boring.
In distress at sea, and they’d let you die. We know where these people live, right? Like we literally know where the billionaires sleep. 
This is not in keeping with the spirit of worthy seafarers
I propose that this could be solved by introducing Mark Zuckerberg to the custom of the sea.
Is this the one where he gets keel-hauled
lol and this man thinks he will be safe in his bunker when the collapse happens 🤣🤣🤣
I would like to Invite Zuck to the private island of my dear friend Baron Zaroff.
I saw this reported the other day. I was not surprised. Zuck isn't human. He betrays no qualities of ever having been one.
"Rum, sodomy and the lash? Oh. *That* custom of the sea."
I'm more interested in who was the captain of that boat. And how they should be shamed for the next 20 years, given their behavior indicated they knew of the call for assistance.
In case you were wondering about the moral character of Mark Zuckerberg, this should answer the question.
Isn't refusing to answer a distress call a crime? We should arrest him, confiscate the yacht, and sell it for scraps and give the victims the proceeds.
He should be charged. As partner of a commercial fisherman for 45+ years, who dropped everything when hailed to tow a boat over 50 miles to shore, we know only the lowest level scumbag refuses to provide assistance when called to aid a vessel in distress at sea. This should be headlines. Despicable.
Nobody wonders about Zuckerberg’s lacking character. He stole Facebook from 2 other creepy dudes to start his non stellar career, right? Not much has changed over the years.
No one was wondering. We know. This is egregious as is his behavior for the past 20 some years.
his jet landed in AK today so makes sense
I'd want to know a lot more about the situation before drawing any conclusions. There's no need to make stuff up when we already have plenty of concrete information to demonstrate that he's a creep, and his products are harmful.
A cruise ship operating in Southeast Alaska made an unexpected detour to help a skiff that ran out of fuel between Petersburg and Juneau. The captain announced that the yacht of Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg was closer, but hadn’t answered the radio call for help. Many booed on the cruse ship.
There’s no excuse for the professional yacht Captain &/or Mates not responding to a sea-going emergency. They’re responsible for monitoring the radio at all times, & are mandated to respond to emergencies. There should be an investigation, & possible sanctions. This is a very serious dereliction.
they are above empathy for the 90%
There’s a fairly plausible reason the phrase eat the rich exists.
Isn't ignoring a call for help at sea a crime punishable by death? Maybe it should be. Anyway. Zuckerberg is a piece of shit.
Zuckerberg proving once again that all the money in the world can't buy class and character.
Zuckerberg yet again proving what a self serving POS he is Ignoring a Mayday call on the high seas!! This sailor’s daughter thinks he needs brig time for that
Billionaire and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was hit with "unanimous booing" this week for reportedly ignoring a request from the U.S. Coast Guard to rescue a stranded sea vessel from his $300 million yacht, the Alaska Beacon reported Saturday.
Zuckerberg doesn't care if people die.
See, *this* is what evil looks like. It's not variant genders, it's not sexuality, it's not a single mother. It's THIS. And we let it come for us.
just another reason.... ....to BOYCOTT META using Facebook makes Zuch money
I genuinely hope he drowns some day soon. There are a few other individuals on this planet who deserve it, but he is definitely one of them .
He and his ilk are absolute trash. We need to de-billionaire them all!
The captain should lose his license. There's no good excuse for this.
This guy turns down every single chance he’s ever gotten to do the right thing
Under international maritime law, all ships anywhere at sea are obliged to provide assistance to people in distress. Rescue at sea is anchored in maritime tradition as a human duty and is recognised as customary international law everywhere at sea www.fhas.ch/expertise/un...
He's letting people drown. I'm not surprised.
It’s funny because could there possibly be an easier way for a billionaire to get good press? You rescue the sailors, treat them to a nice meal on your yacht, smile for the cameras. Every flack who works for Zuckerberg is like “how could you possibly screw this one up?”
Exactly! It was 2 ladies, a kid and a dog. All the cruise ship had to do was give them some fuel and help them find safe anchorage for the night. He passed up a very easy PR win. 'Zuckerberg rescues dog off Alaskan Coast'
Why would he care about good press if he wants it he talks to a fellow billionaire who owns a bunch of new sites and newspapers to talk good about him and he makes it appear by manipulating algorithms in the sites he owns
If a bunch of them were utterly stoned on illegal chemicals, though...
Not even the main yacht. You can keep them on the side-yacht and do a photo op.
This is a crime (UNCLOS, Art. 98) for which the captain of the yacht should be imprisoned. If the captain was acting on the orders of Zuckerberg, then the yacht should also be confiscated and Zuckerberg should be prohibited from ever owning or operating another one.
I like this idea! It's a bit more complicated than that. The Convention isn't legally binding, and the yacht would come under the jurisdiction of wherever it was registered. No official penalties are imposed. In practice is isn't too hard to claim inability to safely assist. But yes. Confiscate! 😀
Its also such a weird thing to do! I grew up on an island among seafaring folk and if anyone is in trouble at sea, you help. Its a reflex. You'd have to actively and purposefully suppress that reflex.
Aware this is a question that could be applied to Zuckerberg in many contexts, but truly how does he sleep at night?
This seems to confirm most of the details, and that it wasn’t just Launchpad but also its support vessel Wingman that were in the area. I suppose we don’t know if they heard the distress call or if Zuckerberg himself was involved in any decision. luxurylaunches.com/transport/di...
As usual, LuxuryLaunches' content is stolen from The Yacht Report on YouTube youtu.be/SPVUr9h8s9M?...
Even if Zuck himself didn't know anything about this particular distress call, his people would be following his orders to ignore distress calls, which is against maritime code.
Their documented behavior seems to indicate that at least one of them was aware (stopping until the assistance/distress call was answered).
pissing off poseidon is just one of those unorthodox strategies you only see from true disrupters and innovators
Refusing to render aid to those in distress at sea is a pretty grave decision. My simple proposal is that if these vessels will not be bound by the law of the sea, neither shall they be protected. Letters of marque for both.
Mark Zuckerberg, owner of Meta, fired 10% of the workforce to use the money on AI investments, while he cruises around on a $300 million yacht accompanied by another $100 million yacht where he keeps his luxury vehicles. Just this Zuckerberg yacht pollutes in 90 minutes what you’ll pollute in
your entire lifetime, the rich live in a GTA video game while they want workers to live austerely to save the planet, historic hypocrites.
Would you expect any less from him. When people are ultra wealthy, the brain chemistry must change.They see themselves above all mankind, and they see people below them as peons.. Of course that is not all billionaires.. You could find the good ones easy enough.They do good.
The way I know Mark Zuckerberg is a sick twisted fuck, is that I don’t follow Cloudchord on instagram. I constantly report his surf videos as videos I’m uninterested in.When asked why, I choose the response “it makes me feel uncomfortable”, and yet he’s still there everyday, playing lame surf music.
what if led zeppelin sounded like khruangbin 😮
STOP SENDING ME HIS STUPID VIDEOS
Ok but like what if my farts sounded like surf music?
Bro, same. I've unfollowed and muted a few times and he still shows up. Glad its not just me.
Reason 3,297,164 that I'm so glad I've never had any Zuckerberg account.
