Chicagoland Residents Were Passengers on Stranded Carnival Triumph Cruise Ship

Three area residents safely disembarked the ship last night, ABC7 reports.

Three Chicagoland residents were on board the stranded Carnival Triumph cruise ship, ABC7 Chicago reports. Sandeep Berry and Rian Tipton of Chicago, and another woman from Evanston were passengers on the ship that docked in Mobile, Ala. yesterday, ABC7 reports. Passengers on the ship were stranded at sea after an engine fire knocked out power to the vessel last weekend, the Associated Press reports. The 4,200 passengers were left without working toilets, little food options, and what some described as deplorable conditions. The ship docked in Mobile late Thursday night, according to the AP.
