JUST NOW: MSC Cruise Ship Sinks with Thousands On Board – Many Reported Missing
April 24, 2025 | Breaking News
Tragedy struck at sea just moments ago as an MSC cruise ship carrying thousands of passengers and crew sank in the Mediterranean. The vessel, en route from Italy to Greece, reportedly began taking on water after a sudden structural failure, prompting a full-scale evacuation.
Panic and chaos unfolded as lifeboats were deployed and emergency signals sent out. While hundreds have already been rescued by nearby ships and helicopters, many remain unaccounted for. Search and rescue operations are ongoing, with multiple nations responding to the disaster.
“We heard a loud bang, then everything started tilting. Water rushed in so fast,” said one survivor, visibly shaken and wrapped in a blanket. “People were jumping into the sea, screaming. It was terrifying.”
Authorities are still determining the exact number of those missing, but early estimates suggest the toll could be significant. The cause of the incident is not yet known, but unconfirmed reports hint at possible hull damage or mechanical failure.
MSC Cruises has issued a brief statement, expressing deep concern and promising to assist affected families and support the investigation.
This remains a developing story. More details will be released as they become available.
