April 24, 2025 | Breaking News
A catastrophic maritime tragedy unfolded overnight as a Carnival Cruise ship carrying 4,000 passengers and crew capsized in the Caribbean Sea. The disaster struck suddenly in the early hours, with officials confirming that at least 1,500 people have died and only 700 have been rescued so far. The remaining passengers are still missing as emergency efforts continue.
Eyewitnesses described a terrifying scene of panic and chaos as the massive ship tilted sharply before overturning completely. “There was no warning—just alarms and screaming. People were thrown from their beds, and everything went dark,” said one survivor.
Rescue operations are ongoing, with the U.S. Coast Guard, Caribbean search teams, and civilian vessels racing against time to locate survivors. Harsh weather and rough seas are reportedly hampering efforts.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the capsize, with early reports suggesting a combination of mechanical failure and sudden storm surges. Carnival Cruise Line has yet to release a detailed statement but has acknowledged the incident and promised full support to rescue teams and affected families.
This is one of the deadliest cruise disasters in recent memory. Updates will follow as more information becomes available.
