Tripulación del yate de Zuckerberg no escuchó llamado de la guardia costera, rescata barco de recreo

El 11 de agosto, un portavoz de Meta dijo que la tripulación del superyate Launchpad de Mark Zuckerberg no escuchó la solicitud de ayuda de la Guardia Costera porque se transmitió en otra frecuencia de radio, y señaló que el yate no estaba en peligro. El 2 de agosto, una lancha de 21 pies quedó sin combustible en la bahía de Farragut, Alaska. Según el Juneau Independent, un pequeño crucero se desvió para ayudar a la lancha, y The Verge informó que el crucero Wilderness Legacy la remolcó a un lugar seguro. Posteriormente, la Guardia Costera de EE.

 UU. confirmó que el yate no respondió a la transmisión, mientras que el portavoz de Zuckerberg atribuyó la falta de respuesta a la diferencia de canales, según también informaron CBS y AP. El episodio generó críticas tras la falta de respuesta de la embarcación privada cercana.
