Re: Cruise ship woman dropped into sea dies in hospital

They were probably still moving to try to stabilise the vessel in swells, turning the engines off leaves the boat at the mercy of the sea in more ways than one. You have to wonder why a helicopter wasn't used but then you would need to know details that only the service staff would have known at the time.
