BREAKING NEWS: Cruise Ship Carrying 5,000 Passengers Capsizes – 700 Feared Dead, 2,000 Rescued
A massive maritime disaster has just occurred as the Sea Voyager cruise ship capsized off the coast of Phuket, Thailand. The vessel was carrying approximately 5,000 passengers and crew when it suddenly overturned during severe weather conditions early this morning.
Rescue efforts are underway, and so far, at least 2,000 people have been pulled from the wreckage and surrounding waters. Tragically, 700 individuals are feared dead, with hundreds more still missing. Survivors describe terrifying moments as the ship began to tilt violently before rolling over completely.
Authorities say the incident occurred during a violent tropical storm that battered the region overnight. It is believed that a combination of high waves and possible mechanical failure may have contributed to the disaster. Divers and emergency teams from Thailand’s navy are on-site, working urgently to locate and rescue any remaining survivors.
The Sea Voyager, known for its popular Southeast Asian cruise route, had just departed from Singapore days earlier.
This is one of the deadliest maritime tragedies in recent years. More updates will follow as the rescue operation continues and investigations unfold.
