May 31, 20232 yr Saw this on Reddit…it was a pirate ship themed booze cruise kinda thing, which is why it’s so slow underway. A real cruise ship would have left him in the dust quickly. You’d think that would buy time for someone to alert the crew, and the dumbass could hang on the donut until he could be ‘rescued’. Naturally everyone is yelling expletives and filming. FAFO indeed.
May 31, 20232 yr Popular Post Nightmare. Imagine watching the lights on that ship disappear as you get dragged by a current. And the sounds getting more faint until you're all alone, treading, in pitch black darkness. It looked really dark. Treading water in the dark sucks. Even small waves lap into your face because you can't anticipate anything. What a horrible death, no matter how the end arrived.

Could've been a small shark. When I first saw it I thought it was maybe the rope on the throw ring.
May 31, 20232 yr Like I said when it was mentioned in another thread, a guy I work with has a son that was on that trip. It’s been pretty traumatic for this kids as one would expect. I did some pretty stupid shit when I was a teenager, but jumping off of a cruise ship at night wouldn’t have even registered as something to do for me. I feel badly for his family.

Naturally everyone is yelling expletives and filming. FAFO indeed. I don't think that's a ship at all. That's some kind of catamaran or excursion boat. Not enough freeboard to be a cruise ship. Yep, it's a redone supply boat. https://www.blackbeardsrevenge.com/
May 31, 20232 yr I can tell you with 100% certainty, that jumping ship at sea, at night, while drunk is not Coast Guard approved.

May 31, 20232 yr If that ship was gonna leave my ass, I think I’d choose the shark as the best way to go.
May 31, 20232 yr Popular Post It's sad that we joke about this kid's death and that we'd sink to that level as a group. I may be jumping to conclusions, but this can't be the first time this kid made a rash decision buoyed by the idea of 'clicks' or followers. I didn't see any shark there and think it's just folks making waves and going a little overboard with their conjecture. He was likely dead in the water the minute he jumped and gondola bottom after he tired himself out. By and large, U-boat to find a lot of kids in the doldrums who couldn't fathom this happing to someone they knew. Best we give them a wide berth to seek help from a grief counselor who know the ropes when it comes to traumatic events like this.

May 31, 20232 yr I take a ferry to work. We get a jumper about every 3-4 months. In the winter it gets dark early and the water is cold. They usually don't recover the body

As someone who has made some really dumb decisions and through nothing I did managed to live through them without deserving to, I can tell you his last thoughts as he blub blub blubbed were, "that was a really dumb thing I did."
May 31, 20232 yr oh look - there is another one https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/30/us/florida-carnival-overboard-search/index.html oast Guard crews are searching for a 35-year-old man who went overboard from a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean on Monday, officials said. Ronnie Peale Jr., of Crimora, Virginia, went overboard, his partner and his mother told CNN. He fell from the Carnival Magic early Monday, according to the cruise line, and a search was taking place about 185 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida, US Coast Guard Southeast said Tuesday. Peale and his partner, Jennilyn Blosser, went on the cruise to celebrate her birthday, and it was his first time on a cruise, Blosser said. She went to bed Sunday night, and when she woke up on Monday around 11:30 a.m., she was unable to find her partner, she told CNN.
May 31, 20232 yr This is giving me serious PTSD from the last time people were captured bailing on a cruise ship. Ugh, awful..

May 31, 20232 yr 31 minutes ago, Bevo said: How about a prop? Just an FYI but being cut up by a prop is pretty rare. There isn't much of a vector on most ships to pull water from the surface. A dropped piece of bread off of a ship usually gets pushed out from the hull water displacement than down into the prop. It can happen though depending on the placement of the prop. Exhaustion or hypothermia are the main causes of death.
May 31, 20232 yr How many people do you lose on a normal cruise? 30? 40?People saying that’s a shark are dumb

Falling 70 or 100 feet into the water, when drunk or unprepared seems like a recipe for getting knocked unconscious or at least having the wind knocked out of you, which would also seem to be a very bad start to being stranded in the open ocean.
May 31, 20232 yr Looks like BlackBeards Revenge wasn't playing. Hate it for the kid but what how stupid.
