Carnival Cruise Ship Stranded After Engine Room Fire

The Carnival Splendor Cruise ship caught on fire early Monday, leaving over 3,200 passengers stranded on the ship off the coast of Mexico. By Tuesday, the United States Coast Guard had reached the ship.

U.S.C.G. officer Khris Johns reported on "Today" that the fire was located in the aft engine room. The fire caused the ship to be without engine power, drifting approximately 80 miles off the coast of Ensenada, Mexico. The Coast Guard has summoned two large tug boats to respond to the ship. Once the tug boats arrive, it will take approximately 24 hours for the ship to be towed port in Ensenada.
