The horrifying, action-packed tale of the Backstreet Boys cruise (h/t @Perpetua)
On December 9th, 2010, the Backstreet Boys Cruise, a four-day fan appreciation event held by pop group the Backstreet Boys aboard a cruise ship, set sail from Miami, Florida carrying 304 passengers. The event, in support of their seventh studio album This Is Us, consisting of live performances by the group, Q&A sessions, game show activities, photo sessions and more, was to be an “exclusive and intimate celebration” and “the perfect way to kick off the holiday season”. On December 11th, in the Caribbean Sea between the island of Cozumel and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, the cruise ship was attacked. 5 passengers were killed, 73 injured, and 11 went missing and are suspected to have been kidnapped. Money, alcohol, food, oil and various other goods were stolen and the ship was sunk.
After the rescue, all five original members of the Backstreet Boys were taken to the Miami Field Office of the FBI and interrogated about the events that took place aboard the ship on December 11th.
