JUST NOW: Cruise Ship Disaster – Thousands Dead in Tragic Maritime Catastrophe
A horrifying tragedy has just unfolded at sea, as the Celestial Wave cruise ship suffered a catastrophic disaster near the Strait of Gibraltar. The vessel, carrying more than 5,000 passengers and crew, sank suddenly after a suspected structural failure combined with violent sea conditions late last night.
Rescue teams arriving at the scene have confirmed that thousands are feared dead, with only a small number of survivors pulled from the wreckage so far. The ship reportedly sent out a distress signal moments before disappearing from radar, leaving little time for a full evacuation.
Eyewitnesses described terrifying scenes as the ship tilted sharply, furniture and passengers tumbling as alarms blared and chaos erupted. Lifeboats were deployed, but rough seas made rescue efforts extremely difficult.
The Celestial Wave had departed from Barcelona and was en route to Casablanca when the incident occurred. Maritime authorities from Spain and Morocco are leading the massive recovery and investigation efforts, with international support now being coordinated.
This marks one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. More updates will follow as details continue to emerge from this developing tragedy.
