Disney Magic rescues 18 people
Aug 6, 2010
We've heard from a poster on our discussion forums that the Disney Cruise Line ship, the Magic, was involved in a rescue operation of 18 people. According to the poster, who is onboard the Magic, the ship's Captain made an announcement Friday afternoon that the Magic had received a SOS call overnight and found 18 Algerians who had been lost at sea for 4-5 days.
According to other posters on the same thread, a statement released by Disney says: "While sailing from Gibraltar to Barcelona, the Disney Magic rescued 18 people who were aboard a small boat that had lost power. The boat was located by the Disney Magic crew members around 3:45 a.m. today, and the people were brought aboard the ship and provided with food and staterooms.
We are proud of the Disney Magic crew members, who skillfully demonstrated their training and commitment to maritime protocols around saving lives at sea. We have notified authorities in Barcelona of this rescue, and they are coordinating the debarkation of the group and other details."
