Zuckerberg's Yacht Didn't Hear Mayday as Alaska Rescue Unfolded
TL;DR
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht Launchpad did not hear an emergency radio call from a fuel-depleted skiff off Alaska; a nearby ship, Wilderness Legacy, towed and refueled the skiff, and by the time Launchpad learned of the situation on a different radio channel, rescue efforts were already underway. The Coast Guard noted the vessel was not in distress and Zuckerberg wasn't aboard at the time; all parties were safe.
