Creator's Key Takeaways

The ship was called the new Stotten Dam.

Security cameras on cruise ships record everything that happens in the public areas day and night.

The railings on every open deck are required by law to be at least 42 in tall, which is about chest height for a grown adult.

Sometimes people are hurting inside in ways that are invisible to everyone around them.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pay attention to the people around you and notice when someone seems different.
βœ“Talk about hard feelings and reach out to someone you trust if you are struggling.
βœ“Know that help exists and call or text 988 if you or someone you know needs support.
