Mark Zuckerberg’s 387-foot Launchpad was reportedly closer to a distressed 21-foot skiff off southeast Alaska but did not respond to Coast Guard radio calls, with UnCruise Adventures’ Wilderness Legacy performing the rescue while Zuckerberg and his wife were not aboard and the crew were on a different radio channel. Public reaction highlighted the controversy over perceived inaction and the billionaire’s lifestyle, though officials have indicated there was no proven intentional neglect and the rescue proceeded by the other vessel.
