Just know, everyone is ok! But this video is CRAZY!
So this ship, Carnival Freedom was in Turks and Caicos when it caught on fire! According to reports the ship was carrying 2,500 passengers and a crew of about 1,100.
In a statement released by Lupoli, Carnival said: "Carnival Freedom’s emergency response team quickly activated and extinguished a fire inside the ship’s funnel while the ship was in Grand Turk. All guests and crew are safe, and the ship’s guests were cleared by local authorities to go ashore. We continue to assess the situation."
Passenger Jenny Fleming told reporters
“All of the crew were amazing at keeping us informed and making sure we knew where we needed to go," Fleming said. "Lots of passengers were distressed, and there was chaos at first. But, then, once everyone got to the muster station, order was restored.”
