Mark Zuckerberg's $300 million superyacht has become the unlikely centre of a viral Alaska rescue story after passengers reportedly booed when they learned the billionaire's vessel was closer to a stranded boat, but did not respond to a Coast Guard assistance broadcast.
The incident involved a 21-foot skiff that ran out of fuel last week while travelling between Petersburg and Juneau in southeast Alaska on 8th August. The boat contacted the US Coast Guard at about 9:30 p.m, and later determined that the vessel was not in distress. However, a marine assistance request on its behalf was issued at around 9:56 p.m.
