Royal Caribbean Crew Member Dies In France
One Royal Caribbean crew member has died and four other crew members were injured on the Harmony of the Seas recently in an accident that took place in France.
The tragic accident was similar to an incident in Bermuda on July 20 that saw two lives lost, with both involving lifeboats falling from cruise ships into the water during a safety drill.
A BBC story said, “One crew member has died and four others have been injured in an accident on the Harmony of the Seas, the world’s biggest cruise ship.
“The 42-year-old Filipino crew member died when a lifeboat, with five crew, became detached from the fifth deck during a safety exercise.”
“It fell 10m [33ft] into the water. Two crew members are in hospital with life-threatening injuries. The accident happened during a stopover in Marseille. The injured crew members included three other Filipinos and an Indian man, AFP reports.”
A post on the Royal Caribbean blog said “One crew member died and four other crew members were injured on Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas earlier.”
“During a lifeboat drill that was conducted in Marseilles, France, an accident occurred when a lifeboat, with five people on board, broke free from the vessel and fell.”
