I am just curious who the heck was with her or pushing her wheel chair. Surely nobody like that is alone.  She was so lucky two hero’s was there to save her.

I notice pier safety issues a lot on my cruises.  Some piers are 

- not wide enough for the population of two large ships at the same time

- tour groups being gathered and standing there taking up more and more room so people must go around near the edges

- no fencing or concrete curb to help keep people away from the edge

 

When I go hiking I have a rule - no standing any closer to the edge than your height. If you fall, you won't go over.

The video here shows one of the hero's after the rescue - he looks completely spent:

Great job to those involved in the rescue.

In the Sunday evening news, it was reported that a family member was pushing her. Glad she's o.k.
