re: Cruise ship nearly runs over stranded jet skiers (video)

Definitely a lot of poors on that cruise ship. Very trashy.

Just telling you the way it actually happened

I agree the jet skiers were in the wrong. It did look like an innocent crossing of the projected path well ahead of the ship.

There's also no telling where they actually stalled or if they drifted into the path.

But my title is correct. A cruise ship did in fact almost run over a few jet skiers

I also did not click the click bait article, I searched youtube when I saw the headline on another website and found the video directly posted there.

Carnival Cruise
Jet skis
Maritime accidents

Verdict: extremely trashy

I tell you what you have a cruise ship coming directly at me and like 20 seconds to do it and i promise you that 140 pounds is flying over the boat coming out of the water. The worst that can happen is i hurt my back and collect a disability check for quite some time

I've had that happen before. Had a loaded down tanker coming downriver (boat speed plus water current speed) towards us. We forgot to switch gas tanks over before we took off and it ran out mid-river, so I went to flip the switch to the other gas tank and it stalled out and took a few seconds to get the prime back. Tanker was only a few hundred yards away by the time we got out of the way. That was very unnerving.
