What If You Fell off a Cruise Ship
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2019
- 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.

Literally my biggest fear is floating in the middle of the ocean by myself
You're not alone
Duunnn dunnn... duuuunnnn duun... duuunnnnnnnn dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnn dunnnn
But the fish though..... sharks
YA Buggin same
Thalassofobia
that’s scary, just imagine being in the middle of the ocean where theirs no light, pitch black and you don’t know what under neath you
Just the thought of that will send shivers down your spine.
I'd sink on my own. I wouldn't have time to think about anything
Imagine if you see a shark
The Sarians i think sharks are very down
Pretty much what everyone on Titanic went through after the ship disappeared underwater.
I would most likely die of fear instantly… the ocean is terrifying!
Very true. My grandfather was a scallop boat captain for 30 years and said fisherman might start atheist but after one stormy trip that changes.
A better question is:
Why is the guy in the thumbnail laughing while falling off a cruise ship?
Cause he knows bright side will save him
because he watched this video
XD
Cause I wanted to take a dive
Because he knew he will be featured here
My brain: watch it
Me:why?
Brain:just do it
Me:fine
My brain - let's send it to a friend who's going on her first cruise 🛳😜
I hated this vid I have been on 12 cruises they dont even mention the chest high railing
Same feeling
😂😂😂😂😂😂
IGoshYou omg me too. I didn’t even want to watch it. 🤣
Did he just say it took 10 hours to rescue her, geez!?!? That’s a slim chance of survival
Especially around those waters its quite cold temperatures in that area its a wonder she lasted an hour never mind 10
Imagine being in the ocean at night and something bumps your leg
“They saw a figure out in the distance. Could it be her?”
*Grizzly bear wearing a wig appears*
Lol 😂😂😂
😂
😭😭
Kid's these days, get artside
stop. I snorted 😂
No cruise ship is anywhere close to the height of the Eiffel tower.
They must have got height and length mixed up. The longest cruise ships are over 300m.
Hola Hovito except they said it twice
@@gplez91 yeah I didn't realise they said it again. Tallest cruise ship is 71m
JScot92
He never said that
He said: remember the whole thing about some cruise ships being taller than the Eiffel Tower?
David luiz
The Eiffel Tower is 900feet. The tallest cruise ships don’t even break 300 feet. Cmon now bright side. Do some research
Thank you for pointing that out. I was thinking the same thing.
you havent notice about the freeboard .. coming from water level towards the keel of the ship .. it includes its tallness
@@marshyproduction9433 still not 900 feet / 300 meters
How can someone keep on floating on water for almost 10 hours
Allure of the sea????
I don’t fear the ocean, I love to be in the ocean but the fear of the unknown within the ocean freaks me out .
Just imagine falling into the deep abyss with no light knowing that there is something unknown beneath you .
It’ really freaks me out
arjoon sathiapradeep sameeee
Omg that’s 100% me!!! I love to swim but only if I can see what’s beneath me or at least see just clear sand underneath, if not I’m terrified of the ocean.
arjoon sathiapradeep i love ships and the ocean, but same for me. I cannot and I mean I cannot go into the water if i cant see whats there lol
To make your fear worse remember that the waves can get up to 60 feet tall if they are pretty bad if your super unlucky anywhere from 100 to 150 feet tall waves and I’m not talking like the kind of waves that curl and then splash which would be worse I’m talking about the ones that are triangular out at see almost just moving around like sand dunes and your going up and down on those and anything could be beneath you
I have thalassophobia and I saw what you described once in my dream. I could hear everything but I couldn't even see any of my body parts. It was the worst nightmare I had.
3:07 - "you're more likely to get the flu on a cruise ship, then to fall overboard"....lol ummmm is that stat supposed to put my mind at ease?
Lol right? Idk where he was going with that, being stranded at sea and catching a cold are kind of different ball games.
That comment did not age well.
Even that is unlikely
Is such a ridiculous statement, like is anyone surprised there’s a higher than 1:1.3 million chance of getting the flu in a crowd of people. 😵💫
They never said how that woman fell overboard, I think that would have helped with the information.
Those who can't swim will be in trouble if they fall off a cruise ship.
Janirus Paul me included
Those who can too, just extends the suffering. When they dont notice immediately the chance of being found is like non existent xD
You don’t say
I can’t swim so rip me
@@andrew-brawlstars2585 I pray that doesn't happen to you
I’d be more concerned with the props pulling me in to chop me up.
Same
Exactly that’s why most people die from falling off
Literally my first thought . But just being in the water next to something that big would be disconcerting. Probably not the perfect word but grab a thesaurus and it’s in range. Cheers Bill
Just stay calm and if u fall make sure u don’t fall near the propellers
@@jamaalmacow9807 *make sure you dont fall near the propellers*
‘Um,,,if it were my choice I probably wouldn’t fall off the ship to begin with’
literally nobody:
my youtube recommendations: “what if you fell of a ship?”
Lol
Same LMFOA
Ah na baby I searched for this
If your a girl, and you fell off a ship, you'll become pregnant.
@@Perich29 how is that logically possible
I don’t get why on the thumbnail there is a person smiling while falling off
Bright side in a nut shell

Are you waiting for one mistake it may happened on editing
LOL
You never explained how that lady fell off the ship!

Water survival in the military teaches if you have long pants on! Pull them off, and ties the ends of the legs together... then place the tied legs over behind your head hold the waist and scoop air into the pants. it will fill up like two balloons, hold the waist together with air in it and stay afloat. you can do this all day. :) Mich Lee USMC
Yep. My thoughts exactly.
I remember we were taught that in elementary school during swimming class. Used our pants as life preserver.
I was in the Sea Cadets in Canada when a boy, and we wore traditional navy garb including those big baggy bellbottom pants. I was told back then about how their design was made to be tied as you describe and used as a floatation device.

People don't 'fall' off cruise ships. They intentionally throw them self's overboard.
exactly
NOT TRUE PEOPLE
Unless of course they want to yeet themselves overboard
They oof themselves
Yolo it
I love how the guys just smiling in the thumbnail like he's happy that this is happening
"What if you fell off a cruise ship"
*Guess I'll die.*
One of my greatest fears. That and being alongside a ship's hull while in the water. It's been a recurring thing ever since I was a kid.
Saying they stop the ship immeasurably is misleading. It takes time to stop one of these ships.
yeah it takes time to stop the engines and after the propellers stopped, the ship will still drift for a few minutes
Thank you so much for all that positive stuff about ships because first I was even afraid to be near one . all I needed was to listen to this video 😊
Falling off a cruise ship from the top deck, you would experience something similar to those people who jumped off the rising stern of the Titanic. It was even worse for them, because not only was the water -2 degrees celsius, they were wearing the cork life vests typical of those days, and upon hitting the water, the cork would immediately rise up, and hit the person's chin which such force that it broke their neck.
I don’t need to worry because it will say:
*Respawning in 4...*
If I fell off of a cruise ship, I would drown in the freezing waters.
Hot Blade what if you fell off in warm water?
I'd survive, I guess, as long as I stay floating on the water. Then, I'd either wait in the ocean for help to arrive or swim to the nearest piece of land.
@@TheHotBlade swim to the nearest land?? you do that you will probably die if its not VERY close.
get_It Oh no.
Hot Blade
Rip currents too
This randomly popped up on my recommended and it’s crazy because being in the middle of the ocean, deep dark water and drowning is one of my biggest fears.
Same I rather be burned in a fire for 10 minutes straight than drown
"If you're still nervous, you are as likely to catch the flu or cold than fall off a cruise ship." I literally get sick every year, those are terrible odds.
Why is no one talking talking the fact that you will likely be eaten alive by predatory fish? If you're floating out there for hours, it wont be long before the sharks show up.
In pretty sure sharks don't eat you
Teresa: myth buster showed that it’s actually just a myth.
sharks doesen't like humens, they are just curies of what you taste like.
Maxim Poles shark attacks extremely rare extremely rare
Only if you are near the shoreline; distance varies upon the amount of land nutrients that are spilling into the sea from rivers & streams entering the larger body of water thus providing for a complex food web.; that draws the sharks and other predators not the open seas.
Me:wow this is kinda useful
Also Me:realizes that I can’t afford a Cruze
maulin rao or spell it
FortCraft Podcast 😂😂 i was finna say that
You could buy a Chevy Cruze for only 79 dollars bi weekly!
They're not that expensive. Pretty cheap actually.
@@dorothydandridge3937 realy? How much
“Fill your air with lungs”- Bright Side

xD

I’d be so terrified; especially at night. I’d probably die from panic attack before drowning. Just imagine it’s pitch black and your into huge black water with all types of sea monsters dwelling under your feet. Sharks, whales, sting rays, and all those other wired sea creatures; just the thought of that gives me anxiety. I couldn’t do it.
Best question: Why did a physically fit, reasonably intelligent woman fall off a ship???
Maybe she was Rose from the titanic and Jack came back for her because she let him die
She got into a argument and jumped on purpose
@@gatorbator78_56 idk man, if I had an argument, I probably wouldn't yeet myself off a ship
Stewie shot her.
Michigan Wolverine in Dallas oddly specific.
If I fell off a cruise ship i would drown.
*I dont swim*
Alvin Fajardo the key word is DON’T. Swimming mostly is instinct and will. Technique is practiced
Here’s a tip:just lye on your back I did it on the pool and it worked
Alvin Fajardo mad you cant drown in sea water
You can tread water. The salt content in the ocean actually make it harder for you to sink and easier for you to float. So if you can't swim, you can float on your back or tread water with minimal effort.
Hi
One thing to take into consideration, what about the propellers? Most big boats can drag stuff close to them, that’s part of the reason why Olympic had that crash with that smaller boat, those propellers might pull you in....dangerous!
She didn’t fall, she deliberately jumped after an argument with her boyfriend

World's biggest cruise ship is Symphony of the Seas with a height of 72.5 m (238 ft), that's quite a bit lower than the Eiffel Tower which is 300 m (984 ft).
Dude a lot of your info is so inaccurate I can’t tell if this is an onion article… smh. Do some research at least 🙄
just last week here in Jamaica a cruise ship kicked off a couple, because the female was standing on a railing just to take some pictures for Instagram.
Bright side definitely knows some dad jokes
Anyone "fill your airs with lungs" 😂😂😂
Just the thought of this makes my anxiety go nuts
I think many of us are more interested in the why and how of this event.
"That dizzy feeling of being on top of a Ferris wheel"

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
Lucky she knew how to swim. And sharks were on vacation.
Another tip when cruising and Man-over-Board happens If, you see the victim just point at him always and don't look any where else. Also consider carrying a small water proof Flashing Light at night if you survived the fall, it will save your life ocean is pitch black and blinking light can be seen for miles and your chances of rescue just went up big time.
“Fell off a cruise ship, broke a lot of sh**. I met a dolphin down there
Alisha L Flipper! 😉
I'm a sailor and we once spotted someone floating in the water (alive). We kept following the person and then lost him when a ship sailed to close to us. Honestly the wprst experienxe of my life. It was my responsebility to watch him and I felt terrible.
Luckily they found him alive two hours later.
Perfect timing to see this when my cruise is in a few days......... now I'm just going to stay in my room. I'll slip on air and end up overboard 🙃
If you're gonna fall , fall in tropical waters 😂😂😂 wowww
I would suggest from cruise crew to provide like a watch or bracelet or necklace with alarming button to all passengers to wear it all the time while in cruise for any emergency circumstances. By implementing this for sure will save life even inside the cruise.
Thanks!
Dear reader,
have a great day!
I’ve been wondering this all my life because I’ve been on planet of cruise ships thank you 🙏🏾
Impressed - Thanks 🙏
Man!! I’m afraid cause I don’t no how to swim
I’m learning HOW TO SWIM!!!!😂
Bro I can’t swim, I have anxiety, and asthma. I would not last long😂
Get an insurance. At least you can leave your family some money
save his l u g n
Sometimes i doubt how this channel got 31M subscribers
Bro imagine just floating in the middle of the ocean for 10 hours 😂
Chills just thinking about it
Excellent video
Hey there! How long can you swim non-stop? 🏊
A
Secknd
30 mins. i love swimming!
Maybe 15 minutes iff I rember how to put my swimming classes to use
8 minutes
0:13 The tallest cruise ship is 90m tall
The Eifel tower is 300m tall
I wonder which is taller?
This specific scenario used to be one of my worst fears.
Cruise ships can’t just “stop and turn around”
Exactly
@Bud Weiser lol
@Bud Weiser how much?
Why not?
Yes
I just got home from a cruise called Carnival dream this last week and we actually had a guy jump off our boat. He was never found.
If you fall of a cruise ship.
Remember. Now you're in endangership
@Teresa Watts I don't know , a little bit I guess.
I don’t get why he didn’t talk about how if someone fell off they could easily go under the boat and chopped up into pieces , like that’s actually likely to happen
So if it is dark and middle of the night and nobody sees you falling off that cruise ship, there is no chance to survive at all. 10-15% is quite little
What if you got Yeeted off a Cruise Ship
Vikrant Tatake no it’s not
Is still the same thing but you r getting yeeted
I would yeet me self off
@@Insert-Retarded-Reply-Here it is pretty funny. It's comedy.
They almost make it look like a cheerful experience.
Cruise ships are so unmajestic while ocean liners were so MAJESTIC AND GIANT
I love your videos
"Can be taller than the Eiffel tower" okay hardly... the Eiffel Tower is 300 m (not even all the way to the tip), while the largest cruise ship is 72m tall
From the water line. Ships are like icebergs. You only see about 10%"above the water.
@@patrickmclaughlin61 I really hope you're joking
Bayley Dathorne he meant that If You put the eiffel tower along side with the Cruise ship its taller..
@@BayleyDathorne ha ha. Yes...just like a bit of a stir.
Bro only like 10-20m of a ship is underwater
"Now, on the bright side..." Ohhhh, perfect channel to be talking about that on!
Never have i wanted to give someone a bravery award until now. She needs a gofundme.
One important thing: if you behave normally on a cruise, you will never fall overboard!
What if you get caught and run over by the ship's motor blades?
That's what I was wondering
Then you’ll get packed for tuna
I love that the person who fell off the ship is smiling In the thumbnail lol
Me: today I should go to sleep earlier
12AM also Me: what will happen if I fell off a cruise ship?
Okay I’m going to correct something. The actual reason you shouldn’t try to swim after the ship is because an average cruise ship’s cruising speed is about 35 miles per hour. It’s a human impossibility to catch up to a cruise ship at cruising speed. Not to mention there’s ABSOLUTELY NO WAY BACK ON if you do happen to catch up
Good morning, Mr. Bright Side and to all the Bright siders around the world, keep safe.

Are there any Joes around, Joes Around?
Falling off a ship reminds me of falling off cargo ship in Rust game haha. Awesome tips🤘😊👍💯
I like your videos. I see you have the sites listed where you find stock assets. Could I ask what software you use to animate them with? Thanks.
This gives me a lot more comfort, no sarcasm
But I’m still scared to be the next titanic
no u aren’t me don’t even try
I live in South Beach and I see the hugest cruise ships leave in front of my window all the time, not to mention all the ships I've traveled on and I don't remember any ship being taller than the Eiffel Tower...I mean, the Eiffel Tower is about 1000 feet tall, if any ship was that tall that would be very impressive and I'd love to see one :)
I was on a cruise a few years ago and I was walking around the deck around 3am. It was PITCH BLACK there were absolutely no lights and no sign of land anywhere. You literally couldn’t see anything. I kept thinking how bad it would be if someone fell right now. A few weeks later I saw a news article talking about a lady that had fallen off of a cruise ship. They checked the cameras to see when and where she had fallen. Turns out she fell the same exact night at the same time I was on the cruise thinking about that. She was also on the same cruise, but a different boat. Crazy :/
its properbly that girl in the video
Yeah cruise ships are gigantic, have seen a few in Norway and sailed in one which had 11 floors 🙈 cannot imagine falling from there.
That reporter looks the guy from wreck it Ralph🤣

This is actually intresting since me and my family wanted to take exactly that same cruise this year
I have flown many SAR flights in the open ocean. The chance of being spotted is almost nil. Even a small sail boat is very difficult to spot from the air.
Jack: we need to jump rose
Rose: I don’t want to jump the water is to cold we’ll freeze not only that but I’m scared to swim i can’t swim very good

Love how the thumbnail always shows the guy smiling
This os very nice to look in RUclips right before going to a cruise not scared at all
could u do a vid titled: 'Is pain just a feeling that makes our body hurts?'
There’s a sure way to never go overboard: don’t go on a cruise. Your waistline will thank you.
