In a tragic maritime disaster, a Carnival Cruise ship has capsized, leaving approximately 2,000 passengers stranded and in distress. The incident occurred earlier today as the vessel encountered unforeseen complications, leading to its overturning.
Rescue operations are currently underway, with multiple agencies collaborating to ensure the safety and well-being of all passengers and crew members. Authorities have yet to determine the exact cause of the capsizing, and an investigation is expected to commence promptly.

For instance, in 2010, the Carnival Splendor experienced a fire in its engine room, leaving passengers stranded off the coast of Mexico. Similarly, in 2013, the Carnival Triumph suffered an engine room fire, resulting in the ship drifting in the Gulf of Mexico without power for several days.
As the current situation unfolds, families and friends of those on board await anxiously for news of their loved ones. The cruise industry and regulatory bodies will undoubtedly scrutinize this incident to prevent future tragedies.
