The 'heroic' father who threw himself overboard to save his kid on a Disney cruise

Was the wife recording the rescue?

He deserves a good rimming...

At least grandpa didn't drop this one through a window.

Dipshit

Yeah you best be going in after your crotchfruit bc if it dies you should die. We dont need anymore of these people breeding

I'm actually surprised they both survived.

Jumping overboard is iffy as it is. But surviving that and being in clothes - those clothes get heavy in water - and a 4 year old can't swim well (presuming he CAN swim) in an ocean with those waves.

I'm shocked he was able to reach his kid.

He's sleeping on the couch for the next month.

Remember that ugly cruise ship baby from a few years ago?

Didn't the cruise line have to compensate Grandpa for dropping his kid out the window?

I suppose this dad will now sue Disney saying that there was no sign reading DON'T LET YOUR BRAT SIT ON THE RAIL FOR A PICTURE, DUMBASS.

A person who sits a child on a ship’s railing should be banned for life from sailing.

I wish authorities would shut down DCL. The gouging of the public shouldn’t be allowed.

That they were able to launch a lifeboat with a crew so quickly speaks of good training. That they were able to find them in the water is almost miraculous. There’s no reference points in the ocean. Like if you spot something in the water, you’re supposed to point AND NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF IT FOR A SECOND.

Why just DCL? Why not every fucking corporation in America?

People choose to go on their cruises. No one forces them. Just stop with the nonsense.

DCL charges much more than other large cruise lines. It should be banned,

And people choose to pay. Who are you to say they shouldn't be able go on a Disney Cruise and Disney shouldn't be able to charge what they can get. It's called capitalism. It's not like Disney has a monopoly on cruises. People have a choice.

r13 Grow up, good lord

r13 What? What sense does that make? Apple charges more than Samsung. Volvo charges more than Hyundai. This local sushi place near me charges WAY more than other ones in my city. Should they all be banned? What a doofus.

Father of the Year award, right there.

"Hey, kiddo - get up on the railing so we Mommy can get a cool pic for Facebook/Instagram!!!"

Fucking brain trust!

Wouldn’t the current from the cruising ship pull the passengers’ bodies toward/under the ship? I thought that was the speculation when that young man jumped off a cruise ship and into what looked like a sea of sharks.

I'm with r6. I'm surprised either survived, thus making me very suspcious that both survived.

Or suspicious of the whole story

Why didn’t think of that?

A four year old? Sat her on the railing for pictures. What an absolute psycho. Nobody is that dumb

Okay, Boomer.

Is he hot?

I don’t know how they survived. Isn’t that like going off a four story building? Seems like the screws would pull them down under it. A kid rolling off a railing would land right next to the ship you would think. Whole thing sounds Unbelievable.

No, R8, nothing was paid to the step-grandpa or any member of the family, despite them making multiple claims.

Oh, wow! You’re like that Snoopy Dog Dog fella.

[QUOTE]No, [R8], nothing was paid to the step-grandpa or any member of the family, despite them making multiple claims.

Are you sure about that?

This cunt got three years probation for practically tossing his non-familial child off a deck because he was too drunk to give a fuck. As were his family who didn't seem to grieve the inconvenient toddler.

They keep suing the cruise line while/when everyone who witnessed saw non-filial grandpa take a drunken stroll and deposit the child on a precarious window before she fell to her desth..

The absolute most grevious case of denial I've ever hear. And the deceased child's parents kept trying to get cash from the cruise line.

^ Never heard about a settlement, yet.

If you think they did prise any money out of the cruise line, R28, it's up to you to produce the evidence.

Apparently, the lawsuit is still ongoing. R29.

Cunt at r30, look down to r31 from your megalomaniacal high horse for a bit. (You may get dizzy, for a change.)

It's the last Google News article with the drunk grandpa's name on it.

But, please, do more research because I'd like to be proved wrong on this one.

R11 Such an interest point and one I wouldn’t have thought of (not having a reference point in the ocean).

Darwin thwarted again!

I hope Mickey gave them a stern scolding!

I WENT ON A DISNEY CRUISE AND ALL I GOT WAS HERPES FROM GOOFY.

LOL, right, Disney cruises should be banned because they're too expensive and nobody can afford them -- and that's why they [bold]sell out. [/bold]

OP, it took you an entire day to realize one of the parents wasn't watching after the child???

I would have refused to jump in to avoid child support in the future.

[quote]A man and a child were rescued from the water after they went overboard a Disney Cruise Line ship Sunday afternoon. The child sat on the rail of the Disney Dream cruise ship while the man was taking a picture, according to passenger Gar Frantz, who said the man was the child's father.

So are people just going to take this person's story as gospel?

It sounds like this Gar Frantz (probably European, who like to pervert happy endings) just wants to paint the father in a terrible light after he was called heroic.

r40 Who on earth is taking it "as gospel?"

On the news this morning, they said there is an industry standard the railings have to be protected by 42" guard to prevent this exact thing and from people trying to commit suicide or possibly, a homicide. If this cruise ship didn't have that, they're in trouble. If they did, how the hell did this happen??
