If you jump off a cruise boat in the dead of night it's not a dare it's committing suicide. Very few survive these jumps, it's like jumping over the golden gate bridge, just kiss your life goodbye. Hopefully you lose consciousness when you dive in, because the struggles will be nearly unsurmountable to sustain your existence. It's suicide.
R.i.p …unless you people are holding out hope that he's still floating in the middle of the ocean…alive.😢
He dead 🤷🏿♂️
Poor kid! As a dad, I can't even imagine. 🙁
the sharks go with him long time
Semper Fortis
Man overboard
Lost seven souls on the USS FORRESTAL CV-59 1982 Mediterranean/Indian Ocean deployment
Average loss of life per six month deployment on Carriers
is five souls.
This young mans family nurtured and poured resources into him for 18 years to ensure his success in life, just for him to go on a privledged cruise with a bunch of other privledged, dumb kids and launch himself into the ocean in the dark of night, never to be seen again. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
I am very afraid for our future as humans. These recent crops of adults are spoiled, have no common sense and are extremely immature. I can't imagine what state our world will be in once they come into positions of power and decision making and take over.
Lord God help us.
This is why parents should not let their teens go off as if they we’re adults!
💙💙💙 thoughts go out to all our beautiful, daring young sons. It’s amazing any of us make it through our youth alive.
They told us in the service to never take your eyes off a man overboard, especially at night, because they'll be lost in an instant if you do. Praying he returns safe but you don't play with the ocean like that; she doesn't forgive and loves to forget.
Missing? You know where they are..the ocean duh
He's the son of Poseidon called to be the king, good luck buddy
0:17 I don't even feel sorry for him… May he rest in sharks… He should have went for a swim on the Cruiseship's pool, but no. He wanted to swim at night in the ocean in shark infested waters.
Hopefully he has a chance of survival. Going overboard this time of year in the PNW means death within minutes due to the severe cold, but maybe he can stay a float in the Bahamas.
There are two Websites, on missing people off Cruise Ships. Absolutely mind boggling the large amount! (&) How little Cruise Ships, or other Law Enforcement Entities , do to help find them, because of a variety of different reasons!
I know exay where he is. In the water.
Animals hunt more at night… night swimming in the ocean is stupid!
Its one of those things when drunk party people get together, and do crazy stupid stuff and it doesn't go as planned, and someone gets hurt very bad, or worse case someone dies.. and yet it was an accident, or people know/seen what happened.. it will be very hard to get words out of people, or the actual truth due to feeling blamed. Sad. I hope I'm wrong and he's found 😔
By “right of passage” do they mean doing something incredibly stupid; not winning a Darwin Award for it; and coming back unscathed (or at least alive)?
And news people — tell us this: WHAT engine did that boat have? Because if it had inboard props… you can probably assume the worst.
Also— who took the photos/video and what did they do about it?
Such a crucial piece of information and it’s always missing from the reporting which, doesn’t allow the viewers to come to their own conclusions.
What a terribly idiotic thing to do.
Prayers for this young man's family and that he is found safe
Other media outlets report he voluntarily went into the water in some stunt. Another person did fall overboard on a different ship and was found floating in the ocean after several hours, luckily the waters were warm and they survived.
WHY DO LITTLE KIDS GO MISSING NEAR ISLANDS IN AMERICA …. #EPSTEIN
Oh he's dead
