Carnival Freedom exhaust funnel catches fire

Shocking video filmed by a passenger onboard the Carnival Freedom captured the moment after the ship's port-side exhaust funnel caught fire off the coast of the Bahamas on Saturday.
According to a statement from Carnival, the fire broke out in the afternoon and the damage was more than they initially thought.
Carnival Cruises also acknowledged there were swirling rumors that a lightning strike from severe weather was potentially responsible for the fire, but said that had not been confirmed.

No… it was a natural disaster
Lightning struck it and it caught on fire
