    Hero dad dives into sea to save daughter who fell from Disney Dream cruise —treading water for 20 minutes before they’re pulled to safety

    https://nypost.com/2025/06/30/us-ne...e-daughter-who-fell-from-disney-dream-cruise/

    excerpt:

    A fearless father jumped off a Disney cruise ship when his daughter fell overboard — miraculously getting hold of her and then treading water for around 20 minutes before they were both rescued.

    The Disney Dream was heading from Florida to the Bahamas on Sunday when an alert suddenly announced loudly, “Mr MOB … port side,” referring to “man overboard,” video of the drama show.

    “A girl fell overboard from the 4th deck & her dad went in after her,” fellow passenger Kevin Furuta posted on Facebook.

    Too many stories lately about going overboard on cruises. You statistically have like a 10% chance of surviving this so this truly is a miracle that they survived.

    I actually thought about this today and wonder if in the moment I would maybe need to stay on the boat since it’s highly likely I’d die too and I’d be orphaning the rest of my family. However I’m almost certain I’d jump too if it was my daughter. If you are a dad you know.

    Absolutely jumping but not letting one of them fall in the first place either. Helicopter Dad checking in especially with my 3 year old.

    I swear there was a story about a guy surviving a few days after falling off a cruise ship and being found by another ship about 20 years ago
