USCG searching for missing Virginia Tech student who fell off a cruise ship
http://www.wvva.com/story/28359413/...ginia-tech-student-who-fell-off-a-cruise-shipA Virginia Tech student is missing after he apparently fell off a Carnival Cruise ship. Virginia Tech confirmed Tuesday that the person who fell overboard is a student. His identity has yet to be released.
An official with the cruise line released a statement saying the 21-year-old was reported missing from the Carnival Glory ship Sunday morning.
Review of camera footage confirmed the man fell overboard.
The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting search and rescue operations. Another cruise ship, the Carnival Ecstasy, deviated course at the company's direction to help in the search up until Monday evening in collaboration with USCG, along with other vessels in the area.
Carnival Glory also returned to the location and participated for a period of time in the search.
The search and rescue effort by USCG is continuing Tuesday in the vicinity of Great Abaco Island, Bahamas.
