Speaker 1 (00:00):
I've never been on a cruise myself, but everybody that's
gone has told me, oh, you'll love it.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
You and Judy should go, you'd have a great time.
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I just think it's like a mall on the water,
you know. When I go on vacation, I don't want
to go to a mall with thousands of people within
three feet of me all day long and all night long.
And I just put my button of sand somewhere and
give me an umbrella, and that's all I'm looking for. Really, Mackenzie,
have you ever been on a cruise before? I have not, Yeah,
any desire.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I don't have a desire to, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
If I'm going on vacation, I'm finm just flying somewhere
and being stationary. I don't really want to be in
the middle of the ocean.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And I don't necessarily have to go to the beach
every time, like you know, go to big cities here
in America, go to the Grand can or something.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
But I cruise ships. I mean, and this is another
reason why.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I mean, the chances of falling over a slim I
get it, but it happens. But this Dad unbelievable. Here
this happened Sunday. This father jumped into the ocean to
save his daughter, little girl too, after she fell overboard
is a Disney Dream cruise ship. They were on their
way back to Fort Lauderdale and apparently he had her
(01:06):
leaning up against the railings or something. I don't know
if she was standing on part of it or what,
but she fell backwards and went into the water. Well,
he immediately jumped in right after her and ended up
treading water if I think, went fifteen to twenty minutes
or so, and here comes the rescue boat and they
(01:27):
got her out of the water.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Thank god. This I mean, could you imagine?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I mean, because and I'm glad somebody saw it happen,
because they obviously reported it. Because if you're alone doing
that at night or something and nobody's around, it's just
you and whoever and you both go in the water,
that ship's on its way, they have no idea.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Somebody just went in, And how.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Tiny your heads would look in the middle of you know,
you have to think of the open ocean with the
currents from the cruise ship moving along.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, I'm getting a panic. Can breathe right now? Over
the whole situation here. But yep, the girl fell backwards,
he went in. They got him out of the water.
Here's one of the passions just describing this.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I saw it like when I walked out of our
bingo game. I just saw a bunch of the staff
running outside on the fourth floor deck, and I figured
something had happened. And so we went back to our
room and watched from the balcony and we were able
to see the rescue boat immediately go into the water.
There was a bunch of staff. It happened very fast.
We were looking around. We actually thought we saw lifevest
(02:22):
in the water as well, like just floating around. I
bet people had thrown life vest in. We couldn't see
them actually rescue. But for my sister's room, she did
see them and she alerted all of us they were
safely in the boat. At the time, I didn't realize
it was a child and their parents as well, who
had jumped in after them.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, this was a little girl. She was a child.
It's not like an adult child goes in. This is,
you know, a young one.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Did you imagine if it would have been dark outside.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I may have gone a totally different direction. It may
have ended terribly. Thank god it ended okay on this situation.
And then you think about, all right, you're out there
tread and water. You go out there and tread water
for five minutes, you're.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Three minutes. I mean, it's insane that Dad is a hero. Well,
let me ask you this. You know, I just started
watching Lost.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yes, so good.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Would you rather write here? You know, this is the
scenario where you live. But would you rather be on
a cruise ship that crashes in the middle of the
ocean or a plane that goes down.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
On land like an island?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I think I'd rather be on land. I mean the
the ocean. I mean no, I mean no.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I'm going plane crash too.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah, especially because you're not having to tread water.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
You could lay out and get a teen or something.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Well, I'll say this too. I don't know how much.
You know, physically I would be able to build fires
and you know, catch fish with your hands, but emotionally
undre to support everybody. That would be a good person
to have.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Did you ever see Tom Hanks in the movie was
the Castaway?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah? Castaway? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well said yeah, yeah, great movie. But yeah, nice job dad,
very nice job,
