A cruise ship sailing in the Caribbean catches fire, with flames and black smoke coming from the stern; lightning may have been the cause
カリブ海の島国バハマに向かっていたクルーズ船「カーニバル・フリーダム」で現地時間の２３日午後に火災があった
A fire broke out on the cruise ship ”Carnival Freedom” heading for the Caribbean island nation of the Bahamas on the afternoon of the 23rd local time.
The fire appeared to be extinguished after about two hours, and no passengers were injured, but two crew members who worked to extinguish the fire were treated for mild symptoms of smoke inhalation.
米国人乗客のヘス・バーンズさんは、１６歳のおいから火災のことを知らされたといい、「甲板に出てみると確かに船尾から炎と煙が噴き出していた」と証言
American passenger Hess Burns said he was informed of the fire by his 16-year-old nephew, and ``When I went out on deck, I saw flames and smoke coming out of the stern.’’

Carnival Cruise Line, which operates the ship, said it received reports of a fire starting in the port exhaust stack around 3:15 p.m. local time.
目撃者は同船に雷が落ちた可能性があると伝えているが、同社によればまだ確認は取れておらず、出火原因については調査が続けられている
Witnesses said the ship may have been struck by lightning, but the company says it has not yet confirmed this and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
この火災で左舷の排気筒は１０番デッキの上に落下した
The fire caused the port side exhaust stack to fall onto the 10th deck.
出火当時、同船はバハマ諸島のエルーセラ島沖を航行中で、２３日夜には乗客に予定通りの夕食が振る舞われたという
At the time of the fire, the ship was sailing off the coast of Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas, and passengers were reportedly served dinner as scheduled on the night of the 23rd.
火災については米沿岸警備隊にも通報された
The U.S. Coast Guard was also notified of the fire.
バーンズさんによると、火災の発生を受け、乗客は午後５時４０分ごろまで自室で待機するよう指示されたという
Burns said passengers were told to stay in their rooms until about 5:40 p.m. after the fire broke out.
Burns, who said it was his 18th voyage with Carnival Cruises, said, ``This was the most fun,’’ and ``It’s not their fault.’’
It’s Mother Nature.”
