Creator's Key Takeaways
the story coming out of Greece of a late passenger passing away after being pushed off of a ship by a crew member
the crew member pushes him off the ramp and at the time that the crew member pushes him off the ramp the ferry has moved away from the dock so he pushes him directly into the water
it's a reminder that this activity that we partake in does have some risk to it and that we have to keep our wits about us
the search for Kevin has been called off and so family members and the rest of us following it are just left with this big question mark
