Injury on the Magic

[jenwright1]

I just heard the USCG side of a conversation with the Magic. Apparently a woman broke her femur and the CG doesn't think that it's safe to do a hoist with the helicopter, so the ship must return to port. They're only 10 miles out and from what I can see on AIS, there's a pilot about to board them and bring them back in. Love having a VHF radio at work.

How interesting. What kind of radio do you have?

[N.FL Cruisers]

Let us know if you hear what happend. thanks.

VHF marine radio. Heard the CG calling the Magic on Ch. 16, then when they swapped to Ch. 22 I could only hear the CG's side of the conversation. I'm in Freeport, Tx, just about 40 miles away from Galveston.

Poor lady! We had to wait in port once when a guy slipped and fell right after reboarding in St. Thomas. Hit his head on the elevator door or floor (it was a head and neck thing and involved the elevator anyway) ... it always makes me feel so bad for people who get hurt on vacation. I fell down the stairs on the Victory after muster while carrying my 7 mo old - twisted my ankle and protected his precious little (ok enormous) head ... we were ok, but it is very scary to get hurt onboard - even when only a little way offshore. I'm glad the company errs to the side of safety and returns to port when these things happen.

Looks like Carnival Magic is returning to port:

My daughter is on this cruise and she just called me to let me know they were returning to port. I told her it was due to someone breaking a leg. Hope the passenger is ok.

anyone know when it is due back? Poor passenger! Best wishes for a quick recovery!

What a horrible way to end your vacation. Just when it starts.

She left pretty much on time. I checked the webcam abt 4:10 and she had left.

Yes, because of her size, she can't turn where Conquest did. She has to turn further down the harbor and back in.

She is about to dock. Hope the person is ok and nothing really serious.

[Kaki]

Pulling in next to the dock right now.

She turns in front of Pier 10 and backs to Pier 23... where you see her now...

[5waldos]

So sad- planning for months, looking forward to it for who knows how long, and 2 hours out you have an accident- I really feel sorry for this person and whoever they are with. Hope it is not terribly serious.

Does anyone have a link to a dock cam that you can see the Magic now? The one I was watching she is out of the frame.
