Topic	That kid who jumped off the cruise ship def got eaten by sharks
willythemailboy 05/30/23 6:40:43 PM #41:	Euripides posted... The speed is the thing here. People don't realize that a ship that big is cranking along at a pretty good pace. Even if the staff was alerted immediately, it would take a good amount of time to slow down, u-turn, and head back. At night, it's nearly impossible to find someone in the water Cruise ships have extensive man-overboard procedures, including a ready launch to have in the water in a couple minute's notice along with IR cameras to spot a warm body on the surface. Even yachts above a certain size are required to carry an emergency launch. And that's if they're out of range to get a Coast Guard helicopter overhead to help with the search. And even with all the procedures and safety gear, about 20 people go overboard every year worldwide and there's about a 75% fatality rate when they do. --- There are four lights. <cite>willythemailboy posted [p:973819939] in That kid w...
