UPDATE: Virginia Tech Student Presumed Dead, Coast Guard Calls Off Search

Awww, this is really sad. The Virginia Tech student who fell overboard, on Sunday from the Carnival Cruise ship is now presumed dead and the US Coast Guard has called off its air and sea search. Wow, this is just so fucked up. 21 yr old Cameron Smook has his whole life ahead of him, I think there is still a chance he might be out there in the water somewhere. I remember this guy who fell off of a cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico and he lasted like 18 hrs until he was found. I know the waters in the Gulf of Mexico are probably warmer than in the Bahamas but not by a lot. I think they should keep looking just one more day!!! If I ever go on a cruise, you bet your ass, you wont find me walking on any of the outside walkways alone or at night. There's no evidence that Cameron was pushed overboard, but how does one just fall overboard when the railings sit up pretty high to avoid this. He was with a group of friends, he should have always had a friend with him. And he should have kept his alcohol consumption down to a minimum. The guy that ended up in the Gulf of Mexico had been drinking a lot and he was pushed overboard by one of the crew who robbed him. That's why you never go anywhere alone. And you don't drink so much that you lose your most basic faculties. Just so sad about Cameron. RIP Cameron!!!
