A man was found floating in the ocean at 8:45 a.m. on Mar. 16 after jumping off the balcony of a cruise ship eight hours earlier.
The man, 35, was intoxicated.
He was airlifted to a Florida hospital, where he was treated for mild hypothermia. He is reportedly in good condition.
After being on a cruise myself this past week, this is pretty alarming news. The ship the man was on was very close to the one I was on, and I'm pretty sure my ship assisted in the search as mentioned in the article. Falling, or jumping, off the ship seemed like such a far-fetched possibility, but this story shows how real and dangerous the threat is. With so many passengers running around intoxicated, it's amazing that this type of thing is rare. It makes you wonder what was going through the man's mind, or if the jump was voluntary.
On that note, I hope everyone had a safe Spring Break. Reading that story made me happy to be back home.
