Canadian passenger Dan So, 41, filmed people around him frantically trying to stand as objects fell and shattered around them as Royal Caribbean’s Explorer of the Seas capsized violently during a storm off its coast of Africa last week – with objects around them smashing to the ground.
“It was like the Titanic,” So told Kennedy News and Media, seeing “people screaming and glasses breaking.”
“I thought this could be the end and the ship would go down in the water,” he added of the alarming “45 degree” tilt.
“I took out my mobile phone and texted my colleagues, telling them I don’t know what’s going to happen and to be careful. I was writing my last message, thinking I was going to die,” added the 41-year-old, who was traveling on a cruise ship for the first time in his life.
One passenger was reportedly injured during the bad weather as passengers were taken to their rooms for an hour for necessary checks to be carried out.
The ship made an unscheduled stop in Las Palmas to help the injured passenger before continuing on its way, the company said.
