What If You Fell off a Cruise Ship
Показать описание
In August 2018, a UK woman was sailing on the Adriatic Sea. Seems like nothing out of the ordinary, just the perfect summer vacation out on the open water! The Norwegian Star cruise liner was heading to Venice, Italy after departing from Vargarola, Croatia. The woman was on the 7th deck, when, right before midnight, she fell off the back of the ship! It happened about 60 miles off the coast of a city called Pula. Too far away to call for help…
As soon as the crew found out about the incident, they launched a major search-and-rescue. They checked onboard CCTV cameras to find out exactly when the fall happened. That way, they could pinpoint the ship’s precise location at that time. The liner also contacted the authorities, and they dispatched a patrol ship, a plane, and 2 rescue boats to look for the woman.

SUMMARY:
- The search went on all night. The sun came up, and she was still nowhere to be found. But then, at about 9:30 a.m., they saw a figure off in the distance.
- When the rescue boat finally got to her, it was clear that the woman was exhausted, cold, and in slight shock.
- They found her about 1 mile from where she’d fallen. The rescue team took her straight to the hospital.
- In one of her interviews, she explained that she tried to stay calm and sang throughout the night to keep herself warm. She was also a pretty fit person, so she was able to keep herself afloat.
- The Cruise Lines International Association says that this kind of thing happens only about once for every 1.3 million passengers.
- The emergency crew members are getting together to find where the person fell. They throw life preservers overboard to make sure the individual has a flotation device while they wait for rescue.
- If the crew knows about the incident from the get-go and the ship hasn’t covered much distance in that time, then they’ll release the lifeboats at once.
- If nobody sees the person fall in and they only notice them missing later on, then the chances of successful rescue are not good – only about 10 to 15%.
- If you fall from a considerable height, you risk fracturing bones when hitting the water.
- The temperature of the water can be a deciding factor as well. When someone falls into cold waters, they automatically go into a Cold Shock Response.
- When the water’s around 40°F, a person only has 60 minutes before their body just gets too cold. If it’s 50, that time doubles.
- Modern cruise ships are the safest they’ve ever been, and they have plenty of ways to keep this from happening in the first place.
- Fill your lungs with air and lie on your back with your arms and legs spread out. Move them slowly to stay afloat. This position also helps rescuers spot you more easily.
- Being in the middle of an ocean, you’re prone to sunburn and heatstroke. So, keep your clothes on – they’ll protect you.
- You’ll get thirsty, for sure. But the high concentration of salt in ocean water is toxic to humans.
- The rescue team will start looking for you in the spot where you fell. Don’t leave that place!
- Easier said than done, but you MUST conserve your energy. Panic does the opposite – it wears you out faster and clouds your thinking.
