On 7 November 2018, a brief article published on the prank web site React365 reported that the Carnival cruise ship Triumph had overturned and sunk off the coast of Mexico: This was not a genuine news report, and the included picture did not show the Carnival cruise ship Triumph sinking off the coast of Mexico in November 2018. This photograph depicts the Costa Concordia, a luxury cruise ship that ran aground off the coast of Tuscany, Italy, in January 2012. The disaster resulted in the deaths of 32 people: Carnival's website for their Triumph cruise ship does not show anything out of the ordinary. It lists no reports about an alleged sinking, and potential customers can still book trips on the cruise ship.
