How's it going? My name is Doug Parker. Thanks for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio,

a review of Carnival Pride. Also, Sherry Kennedy, stopping by in just a couple of seconds with Cruise News. Before we go any further, want to give our condolences to the Knieff family.

We lost a fellow cruiser, Big Ed Knieff. He went by Big Ed, actually. And he was always

full of opinions and would always give you his

two cents about Carnival Cruise lines. So I'm sure he's giving someone hell up there as we speak right now. So definitely thoughts and prayers with the Keneef family. We're going to miss you, buddy. Let's see. Cruise Radio News. It's our cruise radio Facebook group. Come in there and kick around the cruise conversation, I say kick it around. I mean, engage. Don't just lurk in the background. We love to have some friendly debates in there as well. All right, Sherry Kennedy is here with Cruz News. Hey, Sherry. Hey, Doug. So some sad news out of St. Martin last week. There was, and I've seen the video. You've probably seen it, too. a New Zealand woman was killed when she was just blown off her feet

and into last week. There was, and I've seen the video. You've probably seen it, too. A New Zealand woman was

killed when she was just blown off her feet and into a cement traffic barrier, and this was caused

by the blowback from a 737 that was landing, oh gosh, 160 feet away from where they were standing.

You've seen the video, right? I have, and I'm just curious.

Now, you're making it sound like, was she right there by the fence and trying to hold on?

Like, was she trying to be like one of those thrill seekers?

That's what I understand it to be. Yeah, the wind from the jets is as strong as a category

one hurricane, So you can imagine

trying to hold on to a chain link fence with your bare hands, and this is just hitting you,

you know, right away. And there are warning signs all over, and they're not tiny signs. They're

huge signs, and apparently people from airport officials come out and they

warn people to stand back and get away but tourists still flock to Maho beach to grab onto the fence

and experience this low-flying jet blowback you know as they approach the airport I hate that

she passed away that's horrible but I think common sense comes into place somewhere.

I think so.
