Carnival's Triumph Makes An Escape Attempt

‎04-03-2013 05:12 PM

Cruise ship damaged while being repaired after notorious February breakdown.

The star-crossed Carnival Triumph broke loose Wednesday from its moorings in Mobile, Ala., where the 14-story ship was being repaired after its notorious nightmare cruise in February.

There were reports that workers may have been thrown into the water.

The 900-foot-long ship suffered a hole on the right side of the stern, WKRG-TV reported.

The Mobile Press-Registersays that the bow also appears to be damaged and that the ship is wedged against another vessel.

Winds gusting to 40 mph may have played a role in the 2 p.m. accident.

Tow boats were working to return the ship to BAE Ship Systems, where it was being repaired after an engine fire knocked out power and stranded 4,200 passengers and crew members for five days in the Gulf of Mexico.
