Mystery covers the conditions under which a 5 -year -old girl fell from cruise ship of Disney in the waters of Atlantic Ocean On Sunday (29.06.2025), before her father dipped to save her in front of the passengers’ fearful eyes.
The little girl fell from the 4th deck of Disney cruise ship, Disney Dream, worth $ 900 million, while the ship was heading from the Bahamas to Fort Loderdale, in the Atlantic. Hundreds of passengers watched the dramatic rescue as her father dipped into the sea to save her and hold the child on the surface of the sea for about 20 minutes, until the ship’s crew intervened.
However, so far none of the eyewitnesses have officially spoken about the What exactly happened, leaving space in conflicting testimonies and intense rumors about the conditions of the fall.
Social media was widely released the version that The father had lifted his daughter on the 1.08 -meter -high rail to photograph her, And she fell back in the water. The passenger guard Franz, who arrived at the spot shortly after the incident, said he heard this story from passengers watching the rescue.
“They said that the father raised the child on the railing, and she fell. Then he dived too, “ said to Daily Mail. ‘You listened to people scream “The child is in the water, the child is in the water”, and then “the father jumped.”
However, other passengers give a completely different version.
Monica Shannon, who was on board with her husband and young child, said a crew member told her that The parents were playing shuffleboard while the little one climbed the railings.
“As she went back to the back, she got out of the railings,” the crew told her. According to Shannon, the area is known for the strong winds, and a sudden burst may have contributed to the accident.
She was in her cabin just below the area, and saw something passed out very quickly outside the window. “I didn’t care, I certainly didn’t think he was a man who was falling,” he said. A few minutes later, her husband revealed to her what had happened and ran immediately on the deck.
Another anonymous passenger, who argued that he was next to the family when the child fell, categorically denied the version of the photo. “I was there. It didn’t happen. I heard the screams and ran to help. The little girl was not sitting on the railing, “she wrote on Facebook.
“We were the first ones we arrived when we heard the fall and the voices.”
Many passengers described the girl’s mother in a state of total hysteria. ‘The mother was shouting “He’s five years old and he doesn’t know how to swim” ยปsaid passenger Shannon Lindholm.
Monica Shannon added that the crew removed her from the edge of the deck and tried to calm her down as she was in shock throughout the rescue.
The incident remains under investigation, while Disney has not issued an official announcement of the exact timing of the fall.
Fortunately, both her young and her father were rescued and are out of danger.
