NTSB launches investigation into disastrous Carnival cruise

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has launched a full scale investigation into the circumstances of a Carnival ship’s breakdown on a Mexican cruise.

3,299 passengers and 1,167 crewmembers were adrift in the Pacific Ocean for four  days this week after a fire disabled generator power to the Carnival Splendor. Six tug boats towed the 952 foot long, 113,000 ton ship into San Diego Friday morning.

Provisions such as fresh fruits and utensils were airlifted to the ship from the USS Ronald Reagan. Passengers reportedly dined on Spam and were forced to take showers in the dark.
