0742Sheff Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 165 people have simply vanished from cruise ships since 1995. There have been 13 people so far this year alone. The obvious answer would be that they have fallen overboard but i find it a bit strange that no one witnesses these people falling overboard Does anyone have any other information or theory as to what is happening to people?

Jeffrey Shaw Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 People vanishing from cruise ships. Where are they all going? Ships are old hat. Now people are obviously going off aboard cruise missiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The obvious answer would be that they have fallen overboard but i find it a bit strange that no one witnesses these people falling overboard What you have to bear in mind, though, is that cases where people have vanished from cruise ships and were witnessed falling overboard, aren't included in the statistics in the first place because we know what happened to them. Indeed, in most cases, they didn't even vanish because, having been seen to fall overboard, they were rescued. If we had figures for the total number of people who fall overboard, you'd probably find that the number who vanish completely is a small fraction of that. So small, in fact, that it would be perfectly reasonable to consider the "vanished" cases as the fraction of persons falling overboard, who are not seen.

LDeville Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi we suspect that a handful may have been murdered, the rest were accidents or suicides. From 1995 to the present, several billion passengers have taken a trip or two on ships. the figure of 195 is not nice for those that have lost a loved one, but you have more chance of being hit by lighting 20 times and winning the lottery jackpot 200 times when compared to gone missing from a ship, fact.
