Cruise Ship Crashes into Cast Away Island

0:00On April 5th, a cruise ship from Blue the Goon cruises smashed into a reef near Monoriki Island, the spot where Tom Hanks filmed cast away. This happened on April 4th, and rescuers pulled 30 travelers to safety, with no injuries reported. Everyone stayed safe through the whole ordeal. Passengers got shuttled back to Port Denaro, on Fiji's main island, Viti Levyu. A few crew members might still be on board handling things. The company jumped on salvage efforts right away to get the Fiji Princess off that reef. That island draws crowds for its cast-away vibes, with volcanic rocks, lagoons, and white sand beaches. It's the first stop on their escape to Paradise Strip where folks check out the movie spots and enjoy a captain's dinner. Rough weather in the area likely played a role in the crash. Now the maritime safety authority of Fiji is digging into what went down. At last check, the ship was still stuck there, and officials haven't spilled more details yet. We'll keep eyes on this one, as the probe unfolds, and they pull that vessel free.
