21 Yr Old Virginia Tech Student Falls Overboard From Carnival Cruise Ship in the Bahamas!....Still Missing!!

Aww, this is really sad. A 21 yr old Virgina Tech Student was cruising in the Bahamas on the Carnival Glory Ship when he fell overboard. Once the ship was notified of the "man overboard", the ship's crew checked the surveillance tapes and saw him fall. So they turned the ship around and returned to that spot. Carnival Cruise lines also sent another of it's ships that was in the vicinity. The US Coast Guard suspended the search on Tues evening. The student, Cameron Smook was scheduled to graduate from Virgina Tech in May but had already accepted a job. His parents issued a statement thanking the Coast Guard for their help. The waters in the Bahamas are warm, so as long as he doesn't drown or get eaten by a shark, there is a chance that he may be found alive. Of course if he was knocked out when he hit the water after falling, he might already be dead. So sad, he had his whole life ahead of him. Carnival also released a statement, "We extend our heartfelt sympathy and concern for the family and loved ones of our missing guest,". I sure hope they find him when the search resumes today. Good luck and Gods speed !!!
