Disney cruise you certainly hope you'll have a vacation to remember but when passengers on the Disney magic cruise spotted something strange out in the ocean it made for a voyage they'll never forget this unbelievable story began however aboard the Royal Caribbean International luxury cruise Oasis of the Seas along with its sisters Elora the Seas and harmony of the Seas Oasis is one of the three largest passenger ships in the world in fact in 2009 Oasis held at 1187 feet long the title of the world's largest passenger ship and it was capable of carrying up to six thousand 360 passengers to put that into perspective the vessels 5 times larger than the RMS Titanic and weighs 100,000 tonnes slightly more than nimitz-class aircraft carriers the biggest warships in operation today all in all away Sisto some one and a half billion dollars and three years to construct in turku finland while it began offering cruise in december 2009 but these are not your average cruises after all the immense theme park like ship is divided into seven sections called neighborhoods each offering unique attractions indeed the luxury cruiser provides every sort of service and activity imaginable including 25 dining locations a zip line an ice skating rink rock climbing walls a basketball court a water park a movie theater Broadway musicals spas and boutique shopping both oasis and allure also boost freshwater pools that are up to 18 feet deep the ship is based out of Port Everglades in southern Florida not far from the city of Fort Lauderdale and it takes weekly voyages stopping along the way and a select few Caribbean destinations on January 3rd 2015 then the Oasis was set to embark on another fun-filled family vacation at sea of course the cruise was full of its normal activities during the trip and its last port of call was Mexico's Cozumel island here however everything changed just after the ship left port on January 7th one early riser walked alone on the deck and fell overboard the Oasis security cameras allegedly captured video of eight two year-old men walking alone on deck five before he disappeared from view at 6:07 a.m. strangely though no alert or Man Overboard alarm was immediately sounded nor did the ship stop to conduct a Man Overboard maneuver in fact no one seemed to even notice the man's sudden absence the ship continued along its course as if nothing had happened soap stranded some eight miles away from port the young traveler was alone in the vast sea seemingly doomed to death he must have watched desperately as the bright lights of the cruise ship steamed out of sight into the dark winter morning thankfully another cruise ship operating out of Florida was on its way to Cozumel and following the same cruise line that's because like cars commercial ships of dedicated traffic patterns that they must obey when navigating the ocean and it sees therefore at 7:00 a.m. the Disney Cruise Lines Disney magic happened to cross exactly the spot where the Man Overboard was still treading water even more amazingly an alert passenger on board the ship spotted him undoubtedly the magic a nine hundred sixty four foot liner with the passenger capacity of 2,700 people was the man's only hope of survival indeed Alfonso Rodriguez Luisa captain to the port of Cozumel told Spanish news site' Milenio that the Disney cruise alert to the authorities was the first known report that he'd gone missing the man was later identified as American named Frank Jade fortunately for Jade he was noticed by the sharp ears and eyes of Scott Campbell a tourist vacationing with his family on board magic Campbell was out on the balcony of his cabin when he heard a strange noise I heard what I thought to be a really strange sounding bird and saw a little speck in the water Campbell told ABC News yet he soon realized that what he was hearing and seeing was in fact a young man screaming help me at the top of his lungs Campbell's wife Stephanie immediately contacted the crew via the ship's phone moments later the ship's PA system announced mr. mob starboard side the code for Man Overboard on the right side of the ship elsewhere passenger David Hearn heard the announcement and knew what the code meant so he immediately set out to the ship's top deck by the time he got there the crew members had already lowered a lifeboat to rescue the man but her and managed to capture the rest of the rescue on video it was pretty surreal at first it's not something you expect when you go on a nice cruise her and recalled about the rescue and well he and other passengers initially thought the man had fallen from their ship they soon found that he was actually from the Oasis of the Seas amazingly the 22 year old had fallen in the water without hitting the side of the ship or it's hanging lifeboats or getting injured from the impact with the water directly as Alfonso Rodriguez told reporters the man was reborn most people that experience that kind of fall break their neck it's like hitting concrete just to be safe then jade was taken to a hospital on Cozumel where he thankfully received a good bill of health later he caught a flight back to the United States no doubt grateful to the Campbell family and crew aboard the magic as Scott Sanders who runs a blog about Disney Cruise Line said it's pretty darn fortunate that they were sailing in the vicinity however it could have easily all gone badly for Jade and the incident raises serious questions over ship safety measures indeed maritime lawyer Jim Walker argued that safety railings and security cameras are not enough to ensure passenger safety cruise ship should he said be equipped with automatic detection systems that establish a perimeter around the given vessel and alert crew any time a passenger falls overboard while implementing such technology main seem hyper-vigilant considering the fact that only two at forty three cases of people falling overboard have been recorded since 1995 it is technology that's now available and it could help save lives [Music]
