The Florida Sheriff's Office has revealed just how a young girl managed to fall from a Disney cruise ship and into the ocean during a family vacation.
The officials have stated that during the June 29 incident, the five-year-old had been sitting on a railing when she lost her balance and fell into the ocean from the fourth deck of the ship.
According to their investigation, the father didn't see the incident that Sunday at all, and only learned that his daughter had fallen after his wife alerted him to the situation.
After the girl’s mother alerted her husband, who didn’t see the incident, he jumped into the ocean to save his daughter,' the Sheriff's Office said.
Onlookers said they heard the mother screaming in terror and saying 'she's five and can't swim,' and alerting her husband.
Fellow passenger Monica Shannon told the Daily Mail that, 'the parents were playing shuffleboard and the girl was climbing on the railings... and as she went to climb up again she flew off.'
She said that it was a very windy day and the small child could have easily been blown from the ship with a large gust of wind.
A fellow passenger watched a small child climb onto the rails and stood idly by.
