Same vibe as that fuck Joel Osteen refusing to allow people to shelter during a hurricane. These people care for no one but themselves and their money.

Hot take: Since I’ve seen this article posted a ton lately…
Facts:
- Zuck wasn’t on board
- They were on a different radio channel than the distress call
- By the time they switched to the same radio channel, another vessel was already helping
- The distressed vessel was not in imminent danger, just without power
Be pissed at Zuck for all the right reasons. This isn’t one of them. The captain was just doing his job.

They were on a different radio channel than the distress call
There is a particular frequency that distress calls go out on, you are required by maritime law to always be tuned into that channel. So to claim that you are innocent because you weren’t tuned to the channel is like claiming that police didn’t respond to a 999 call because the operator was using the line to talk to their friends. They are still basically admitting to breaking the law.
By the time they switched to the same radio channel, another vessel was already helping
Should they were not tuned into a illegally mandated frequency for a good while then. They still have questions to answer.

Yeh, channel 16 is the emergency channel, but you don’t have to have your radio tuned to it 24/7. You can change channels if you want to speak privately to another boat or if you’re coming into dock. It’s not completely infeasible that they were talking on another channel and only switched back once the danger had passed.
sockinacock@sh.itjust.works 23 hours ago
Did they call out on 16? The article I read implied (but admittedly didn’t outright state) they didn’t make a distress call and just called for general assistance, and they called the Coast Guard on 22A, then the Coast Guard issued an assistance request for them on . Which would mean that Zuck’s crew didn’t do anything illegal and was just skuzzy, as should be expected of anything connected to him. Still means they were either lying about/poorly keeping watch on 16 as the Coast Guard should have broadcast on it.

You want to tell me there is one small radio with single channel on the billion dollar worth yacht.
Bluewing@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
Not defending Zuck the Cuck, but just how many multi channel radios do you think they need to have? And how do you monitor and manage all those radios as a single crewmember on duty on the bridge ? Does an entity like the Coast Guard bear any responsibility to listen to the emergency channel and know how to contact the nearest ship/boat?

Bootlicker. Captains job is to follow maritime law and listen out for and aid those in distress.
ironpangolin29@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Is that what they’re saying. If they’re claiming that then it’s incompetence, which I’d love for that yacht, a crew captained by incompetence. (Spoiler: it’s not)
There are certain frequencies you broadcast for help on, those channels are always open. They heard the distress calls, life or death you help. Negligence plain and simple.
SisyphusIsHappy@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
As a person that hates billionaires and the current economic situation, but also has an understanding of maritime rules and some of the finer details of this story, I think you should rewrite your headline. They were outside of a harbor in Alaska and there was no distress call. If you want to build something, please don’t base it on lies because that just weakens the foundation of what could be something we have coming.

That is not what happened.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Just because they didn’t die (someone else rescued them) doesn’t mean he didn’t “leave them to die.” Do you have evidence he knew the other ship would arrive in time? The duty of the nearest vessel to help a vessel in distress has been part of the Law of the Sea since the beginning.
ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 day ago
The boat was just off the harbour, and ran out of fuel. It made non-emergency requests for assistance. Vessels were not obliged to render assistance.
“Leaving them to die” is hysterical and hyperbolic, and a gross distortion of the facts. If you feel you have to go there, you’re implying even you don’t believe in your premise.
anon_8675309@lemmy.world 1 day ago
There are different levels of help request and this wasn’t the “oh shit we’re dying” request.
So yeah…

Most humans are defective. He profits on you, on exploiting children, on child abuse ads, and now this. BUT we still indirectly support him, cheer him on, give him money - why? Because we are lazy, Facebook is practical and we don’t bother to change anything.
