OK 75 is a lot, but for an almost as harrowing first person account, listen to the interview with Brett Archibald about surviving 28 hours after falling off a cruise ship:

- ant6n 9y agoNot quite a cruise ship, more like a 10 passenger boat. I wonder what would happen if one actually fell off a large cruise ship.
- yread 9y agohappens quite often and nearly everyone dies/goes missing
- exDM69 9y agoThere are lots of cruise ships in the Baltic Sea, and there's perhaps 2-3 cases per year where someone falls overboard and quite a few who go missing without a trace (ie. fall overboard at night with no-one noticing). Practically no-one is ever found, even though several ships participate in the search if the falling is detected. It is possible to jump off a cruise ship and survive, though. Every now and then an idiot decides to jump off before reaching the harbor and swim to some island near the coast. And get a hefty fine afterwards. But at this point the ships aren't doing full speed or at the open sea.
