Cruise ship disappearances spark safety concerns
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
After at least four human disappearances from cruise ships, ABC's "Primetime" will air an investigation on the safety of cruise ships.
Cruise vacations usually mean relaxation and partying with friends and family on the high seas, but when 26-year-old George Smith, of Greenwich, Conn., disappeared on his honeymoon cruise this summer, many questions were raised about passenger safety and cruise-line accountability.
Smith's disappearance is not an isolated case --- 14 people have gone missing from cruise ships over the past two years.
* Two Sides of the Honeymoon Cruise Disappearance * Cruise Cover-up?
"Primetime" investigates a string of loved ones left at sea --- a daughter who vanished suspiciously after karaoke with her family; a bachelor gone overboard who spent 17 hours at sea and lived to tell about it; a divorcee whose disappearance was never reported by cruise officials; and an exclusive interview with an attorney for one of the last men to see George Smith alive.
Watch "Primetime" on Thursday at 10 p.m. as Chris Cuomo reports on these mysteries at sea.
Wally and Heidi Knerler expected nothing but fun when they took their daughter, Annette, and granddaughter, Danielle, on a weeklong cruise to Mexico.
But when the ship didn't pull into port, they took matters into their own hands and found evidence that their daughter may have been attacked.
Three weeks after the ship docked, officials confirmed that Carver did board the cruise; they just weren't sure where or when she got off.
Tim Sears began his five-day cruise with his best friend, Mike, looking forward to sun and partying in the Gulf of Mexico.
After spending his first day drinking followed by an evening of dancing, the 31-year-old found himself floating in the middle of a pitch-black sea --- alone.
Suspicion has centered around four men who allegedly brought Smith back to his cabin the night he vanished --- among them 20-year-old Rusty Kofman.
