"There were people running for life jackets, and then afterward a lot of people hugging and crying, people looking for children," Carol O'Connell told NBC's Miami affiliate, WTVJ-TV, by phone.
Cruise Ship Back to Port After Hard Roll - Forbes.com
The folks who seem to have misplaced their kids while running for life jackets were passengers on a cruise ship called "Crown Princess" which, upon leaving Port Canaveral for New York suddenly began listing "badly" to port. Or so says Coast Guard Petty Officer James Judge, which is a cool name. Although not as cool as a guy I used to know in Chicago whose first name was Judge. Hi, he'd say, introducing himself, I'm Judge Jones. I don't remember his last name so I just made that part up, but it really doesn't matter much what a guy's last name is anyway if his first name is Judge. Especially in Chicago. You can get just about anything you want in Chicago if your first name is Judge.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, the Crown Princess returned to Port Canaveral, but not because there was anything wrong with the ship, because some of the passengers needed medical attention. Nothing wrong with the ship, said Princess Cruises. It's safe. Which, when you think of it, is sort of faint reassurance compared to what they said about Titanic. "Unsinkable," they said about that one, if memory serves. Which seems a whole lot better than just "safe" to me.
