Carnival's 'poop cruise' that saw thousands of passengers stuck at sea for five days as sewage flooded the ship is set to be featured in a new Netflix series.
Due to stream on June 24, episode three of 'Trainwreck' - the series that looks at several disasters, will focus solely on the trainwreck - or shipwreck - that was the voyage of the Carnival Triumph in February 2013.
The ship was meant to embark on a four day sojourn out of New Orleans, Louisiana throughout the Gulf of Mexico. But, on day four, an electrical fire broke out and turned the entire trip on its head.
The accident engulfed the ship's electrical cables in flames. Those cables powered the Triumph's entire electrical system including the power, refrigeration, propulsion, air conditioning and the power to flush the toilets.
While at sea they were impossible to repair and the entire cruise ship had to be sustained by a singular generator.
