Cruise Ship Stranded off Mexico: 4,500 to be bussed to San Diego?
A cruise ship stranded offshore with 4,500 passengers and crew must be towed slowly into a Mexican port and will not arrive until at least Wednesday night, the Coast Guard said Tuesday. The Carnival Splendor was 200 miles south of San Diego when an engine room fire cut its power early Monday. Current plans are for the ship to be towed to Ensenada Mexico, ETA 8PM PST Wednesday. From there the passenger & crew are to be bused to San Diego, 50 miles north. A Carnival spokesman said "she was unaware of any safety concerns from passengers or their families about traveling by bus in Mexico." That would take about 90 buses. This could turn out to be 'interesting.' Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 2010-11-09 |
