A passenger went missing from a Carnival cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico. Quick thinking and a 'miracle' saved the man's life.
A man reported missing from the Carnival Valor sailing in the Gulf of Mexico was found in the water and rescued on Thursday. The Carnival Valor cruise ship is seen here in New Orleans on March 3.
Announcements echoed through the ship for the missing passenger to check in with guest services, passenger Mike Anderson told CNN on Thursday, and people "noticed security starting to search the boat with a photo of the missing in their phones."Passengers were told the arrival time to their port of call in Cozumel, Mexico, would be delayed, Anderson said.
The search extended more than 200 miles in the gulf, Gross said, adding the water temperature there Thursday night was just above 70 degrees -- and somewhat colder in the Mississippi River. He "gave no really no clear indication of why he fell overboard or what time specifically," he added. If it was that long, it's "the absolute longest that I've heard about -- and just one of those Thanksgiving miracles," he said.
The rescued man was transferred to awaiting emergency medical personnel at New Orleans Lakefront Airport, Graves said.
