Just like the story the comments are just as misleading, You will know what they want you to know that's how we've gotten where we are, Where nothing you see or hear can be believed, well played.
Still don't get anything kool for father's day smh 😅
Dad's fault, she should have been watched at all times.
Kudos to this dad!!!
Another report stated dad placed child on railing for photo and she fell over.
I’ve been on a Disney cruise. One of the nicest suites there was. There’s literally a glass balcony the looks right over the ocean. There are chairs on the deck that the kids could climb on and fall over. I purposely brought a tiny battery alarm to put on the sliding glass door just in case my daughter opened the door without me knowing. It is possible!!!! It can happen in seconds! Good dad for jumping in 😥
Good idea to put the safety nets outside the fence…they work! We saw a kid go over the wolf den fence but for the safety net he would have been in trouble. The worker leaned over quickly scooping him up.
The mom yelled don't break his arm…the employee said don't put your kid on the fence.
We all clapped…
I'm really glad both are safe💙
Wait it took twenty minutes to rescue them……. ? WTF why so long, there needs to be a quicker way then 20 damn mins that’s insane to me. Wow
Somebody wasn't watching their child!
Thank you the positive news
The turbulent water alone is why it's so shocking to me that she survived and her dad rescued her. God's miracle.
This is what being a father is all about.
I just have to say how stupid they were. To be sitting on the railing.
Sounds like the grandfather who leaned out window before toddler fell to death from cruise ship !!
Holy moly😳
Kids can climb
Another crazy holding their kid over thr side????
The father sat her on the plexiglass to take a picture with her, and she fell over. It is all on the ship cameras! I don't know why some news reports aren't reporting it.
Why aremt there more cameras around to see how this happened
How old is the daughter?
🙌🏾🙌🏾 Wheeeeeeew!! Thank God🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾♥️
0:30 ‘how did the child fall overbd’….well…..
Father is a Hero*
Yes that’s an *, he put her on the rail but quickly jumped after her. Sooooo, he is sort of a hero by negligence.
That's what I was wondering. Cameras are all over. Can't be an accident..
Incredible story ❤
I have been on a lot of cruises and I find it very hard to believe that anyone could fall overboard unless they put themselves in a dangerous position in the first place.
Unless she was thrown over, not a malicious act (sort of), just perhaps a compulsion that was followed up, buy his rescue.
Thank God they're ok!
Assume everyone involved are dumb as rocks, then you’ll get your answer 😮
We know how, they were not watching her. Period. No excuses. Not watching her.
Some judgey comments on this one aye? 🌊
Hopefully this becomes a TikTok challenge
Just review the CCTV cameras 🤷♀️. Cameras are everywhere on those ships
Plot twist, he was so scared of grandma literally killing him for putting his daughter on the railing for an insta photo he jumped right after her. Glad he did though, whatever anybody says.
Father of the decade
I feel there is more to this story than what is being shared. You have yo work hard to “fall over.” Fortunately, the ship was coming from the Bahamas to Fort Lauderdale, and was at a day at sea. Unlike what the reporter said, the ship was more than likely going pretty slow. Because of that, and the quick thinking of the father, this ended well. If that ship was going fast, it’s unlikely either one of them would have survived or even been found.
Hallelujah ❤ GOD BLESS ALL SAVERS! GREAT NEWS TO KNOW EVERYONE IS OK❤ BRAVO 👏👏👏
Kaching, kaching.
The parents should be charged with neglect. This is NO mystery-we just got off the ship on May 7. There is no way that a 5 yr old climbed up that rail. I'm not crazy about Disney, but I'd love to see the video and feel pretty confident I'm right. Don't know which parent put the child on the rail, but one of them did,
