Looked very bad from what I saw on Instagram.

Big massive column of rock fell on a couple of boats.

That’s horrible. You don’t stand a chance if a big slab like that comes down on you. Prayers up for all involved.

I noticed one of two boats made a run for it, and missed the
brunt impact of the column by a few feet.

Not sure if he even saw it.

Your words reminded me. Mid Pacific during the Viet Nam war, 500# bombs rolled out of a blast hole in the side of the ship and crushed and killed a school mate of mine in a lifeboat.

RIP Sam

At the very least survivors should receive future cruise credits towards an equal or better excursion.

I just looked it up, that was a 2000# bomb that crushed the lifeboat.
