Nude Cruise Ship Passenger Fell Off Ship and Swam with Sharks for 20 Hours ๐Ÿฆˆ ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿ›ณ

It was a Thanksgiving to remember for a local State Farm worker on a Carnival cruise. After downing a few cock tales with co-worker Jake, the man who fell off a Carnival ocean liner and treaded water for 20 hours before being rescued literally swam with sharks and miraculously survived, but there's one big mystery -- how many drinks did this dude consume before going overboard?!?

The 28-year-old told a family member he was going to the bathroom, and that's the last anyone saw of him. He doesn't remember going to the bathroom, falling off the ship or hitting the water.

The first thing he recalls is that he was on the ocean floor with no boat in sight. He was actually passed out in the water after the fall. Unreal! But God kept him afloat for a bigger purpose. He was cold and hungry and survived by eating whatever floated by.

James was treading water in an area known as a feeding ground for sharks, and it appears he encountered at least one. You gotta watch the video and hear how he survived that.

Eventually, he saw a freighter and swam with the little energy had left ... heading toward the vessel. When a Coast Guard chopper lifted him out the water, the first thing he did was warn one of the military guys he was naked!

Dirty slut was probably being porked by a pinga and accidentally toppled over mid-thrust!

Sharks don't like pickled meat.

How embarrassing, having the world know you were on a Carnival cruise.

Whatโ€™s wrong with Carnival?

by Anonymousreply 4December 2, 2022 9:51 PM

that's kind of impressive that he was able to tread water for 20 hours, but why did nobody on the ship notice a guy falling overboard?

by Anonymousreply 5December 2, 2022 9:54 PM

He said he lost 20 pounds from threading water.

Itโ€™s impossible to lose 20 pounds in 12 hours.

I think his clothes came off in the water. He wasn't naked when he went in.

by Anonymousreply 9December 4, 2022 6:04 AM

Most importantly, cut or uncut?

How would you know? He was blackout drunk and could have been naked like that Tyson guy who was blackout drunk.

If he was passed out in the water, what kept him from drowning? Weird story

by Anonymousreply 12December 4, 2022 7:11 AM

Did you watch his interview? He said the hand of God kept him afloat while he was passed out.

He didn't seem very smart in the interview.

Drunk. Next stop: rehab.

by Anonymousreply 15December 4, 2022 10:51 AM

This is the most amazing survival story. I guess being drunk and religious saved him.

by Anonymousreply 16December 4, 2022 11:59 AM

OP you got SO MANY DETAILS incorrectly. Your grammar and vocabulary is atrocious.

For example:

He was "on the ocean floor"?

And the guy specifically says it was one fish and he thinks NOT a shark.

The mind boggles.

"cock tale" indeed.

He be mighty lucky, sharks donโ€™t go for drunken hillbilly ass

There is something really suspicious about this story, down to the dumb songs he supposedly made up while bobbing in the drink. And the news has been playing this story, ad nauseum, since it happened. I call bullshit. Carnival Cruise. What the Hell do you expect????

R20- MORE important

Well hung or not?

Sorry, my comment was meant for R10

by Anonymousreply 23December 4, 2022 12:54 PM

R21. So like what you think he fakes being naked in the water somehow and the Coast guard rescuing him? clearly he fell in the water and was there for some time you seem kind of like a dumbass.

They didn't report him missing for 12 hours. Somebody pushed him over!

R26 The Gulf averages 5,300 feet deep. Explain to me how he woke to find himself on the "ocean floor".

So the white trash type prefer Carnival. Good to know. I'll stick with Royal Caribbean.

R33 that is news to you?

by Anonymousreply 34December 5, 2022 8:02 AM

This story does feel very balloon boy hoax-esque. The details make hardly any sense, and the guy is being cagey about the details. For example, one doesnโ€™t just fall off a commercial cruise ship, that takes some actual doing. But heโ€™s a religious wingnut, so heโ€™s given carte blanche to weave whatever improbable tale he wants.

They said it was going to be a cruise ๐Ÿšข of the Riviera, they didnโ€™t say it was the Redneck Riviera ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Well he really was in the water. And he really had no flotation device. So that part is true. Which is amazing.

by Anonymousreply 38December 5, 2022 10:34 AM

R35 I got the feeling he was dodgy because he knows what happened, but doesn't want to admit it -- that he had too much to drink. My theory is that he was trying to take a piss overboard, maybe even climbed up one of the rails, acting like a typical drunk guy (pissing wherever). If not that, he flipped over the rail somehow, because of drinking too much (idk the height of these rails -- carnival says it's "impossible" to fall over without doing something like climbing them.). โ€‹

He remembers everything but what happened between heading to the bathroom and being in the ocean. Wonder if he's afraid that if he admitted to doing something he shouldn't be doing, he'd be held liable in some way for rescue costs.

by Anonymousreply 39December 5, 2022 11:01 AM

Well it's pretty unlikely there was a sudden jolt to throw him overboard!

Anyone remember that missing girl who went missing from a cruise ship in the middle of the night? Some guy claimed he'd recognised her being forced to work in a brothel

by Anonymousreply 40December 5, 2022 11:08 AM

The ship's Isaac probably roofied him.

Is Carnival officially the Branson of cruise ships?

Jโ€™adore irony.

He looks ridiculous in R13. Took off his hat, hair plastered to his head, and went on camera.

Did he get a refund?

by Anonymousreply 45December 5, 2022 2:36 PM

Can't adverb "incorrectly" modify the verb "to get"? Where is the ironic mistake?

I agree that something is off about this story.

The same hand that pushed him in the water to begin with.

by Anonymousreply 48December 5, 2022 7:10 PM

and all the papers had to say was he was found in the nude

by Anonymousreply 49December 6, 2022 11:37 PM

Because they couldnโ€™t lie. If you look at the footage he really was found in the nude.
