Woman falls off cruise ship and is found Alive 38 hours later!!!

Unbelievable  news  today as a woman from Shanghai, China spent 38 hours in the sea after going overboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.

A 31-year-old Chinese woman named Wang Si was on  a cruise on Mariner of the Seas when she accidentally fell overboard on August 10. Apparently  the woman was enjoying the stunning views on deck 4 when she was leaned too far over the railings she fell overboard at around 9 PM.

Wang Si was enjoying the cruise with her parents, they reported to the ship’s crew that she was missing. The ship put out several ship-wide public announcements until midnight hoping she would turn up. When the ship  docked at its home port in Shanghai the next morning at around 6 AM Chinese authorities boarded. An extensive search of the ship was done and Police carried out forensic tests. Wang Si was seen  on the ship’s CCTV footage at the moment she fell overboard.

An astonishing 38 hours later Wang Si was found adrift at sea by a fishing boat. She was exhausted as expected but otherwise well. Wang Si was  a very good swimmer which ultimately saved her life. She even had a sleep while drifting at sea.

Royal caribbean later published a statement which read

“We are grateful to learn that our guest is safe. Many of our crew members assisted in searching for her, and we all share the family’s relief in her safe return home. We also thank the crew of the vessel that rescued her for their care and professionalism. It is our intention to respect our guest’s desire for privacy and we hope others will respect her wishes as well.  Our safety procedures were strictly followed during the incident, including the notifying and receiving guidance from authorities”

This is of course not the first time someone has gone overboard and been found, but i still find it difficult to understand how this happens without either being drink or climbing on the railings.
