April 19, 2025 — Atlantic Ocean
A luxury Carnival Cruise ship carrying over 2,000 passengers capsized early this morning after encountering severe weather off the coast of the Bahamas. The vessel, en route from Miami to the Caribbean, was caught in a sudden, violent storm that battered the ship with 30-foot waves and hurricane-force winds.
According to early reports, the ship began tilting shortly after midnight, prompting panic on board. Within hours, it had capsized, leaving passengers and crew scrambling for lifeboats and clinging to debris in the water. Emergency response teams were immediately dispatched, and the U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed that rescue operations are underway.
“People were screaming, children crying… it was chaos,” said one survivor via satellite phone. “There was no warning.”
As of now, dozens have been rescued, but many remain missing. Authorities fear casualties may rise as the search continues through rough conditions.
Carnival Cruise Line has not yet released an official statement, but sources confirm an internal investigation is in progress.
Families of those on board are gathering at ports in Miami, desperate for updates. This tragic incident marks one of the most catastrophic cruise disasters in recent memory.
More updates to follow as the story develops.
