4 minutes is good, but that's still a lot of distance at that speed. :(

Assuming she ever got to the surface in the first place. From that height, you'd plunge a good 8-10 feet underwater. It would be very easy to get disoriented, especially if drunk, and never even have a chance to float to the top and hope for rescue.

During the worse Nor'easter we've had in decades, just before dark. Odds are very bad, even for a strong swimmer, which I doubt she was.

Her odds of survival get worse. First, falling from more than 30 feet into water can be deadly by itself. The ocean was only 54 degrees (last time I looked) meaning hypothermia would easily have overtaken her in what - well less than one hour. A nor’ easter was just starting to blow in meaning choppers could easily fly right over her and not see her in massively confused seas. And then those propellers are sucking in water to move the ship; could easily suck in a deeply submerged body. How long does it take just to turn a ship? 3 miles? 6 miles?

Most interesting are surveillance cameras outside the ship and a rescue response by two boats in only four minutes. Reports imply the ship's crew should be highly praised for their response. They had boats in the water before the ship could even turn around.

I must agree.

Note to self: do not climb on outside of ship while on cruise.

Thats SOP for any ship of that size because of the immense turning radius. They also remain on course to retain a reference point for the rescue vehicles. They also use the navigational systems.

I think it's photoshopped.

My sister was photoshopped on 9/11 you insensitve prick.

That was my point. Why repeat it?

Getting two rescue boats in the water in only four minutes is phenomenal - not SOP for most ships ten years ago. Exterior surveillance cameras are also new. I wonder if cameras could actually see her climbing outside the ship and therefore why she fell.

That is very true. I wiped out on a fancy dive when I was a kid and knocked the wind out of me. That was only a 4-5 drop and I hit the bottom of a 12 ft pool. I didn't think I was going to make it to the surface. I had a lifeguard pulling me out when I got close to the top.
I can't imagine dropping the distance she did and not going so deep that drowning was the only outcome.

they say she fell 60 feet to the water. i've jumped from 64, carefully landing feet first. it still hurt the soles of my feet. she most likely landed on her back and was knocked the fuck out on impact. blub blub blub.

poor jorge.
