Cruiser leaps to death in front of wife and kids
A cruise ship passenger’s leap into the ocean near the British Virgin Islands spawned a futile search but also bogged down thousands of vacationers.
An unidentified man went overboard from the Carnival Legend as it was on its way back to New York.
A 12-hour search failed to find the man but many passengers arrived late for flights and trains taking them home.
Rattled passengers who disembarked the ship on Manhattan’s West Side told the New York Daily News that the man jumped to his death in front of his wife and two of their children. They were having an argument.
After the man was seen jumping overboard, the captain notified 3,000 guests and crew members that the ship was dropping anchor for a search-and-rescue mission.
