A small cruise ship rescued a stranded skiff in Alaska last week after Mark Zuckerberg's superyacht, which was closer, reportedly declined to help. The yacht's crew was on a different radio channel and only reviewed the broadcast after the rescue was already happening, according to a spokesperson. Zuckerberg himself was not present on Launchpad, his yacht, when the incident occurred.
