Cruise Ship Captain Says He Fell Overboard Amid Chaos, cough-cough... apparently he fell right into a life boat. Isn't that lucky. Even the crew of Saturday Night Live couldn't come up with this script. So why didn't he get back on the ship? But all that said, look how close the ship is to land. 

August 13, 2011, Sister Ship Costa Atlantica. Truly an amazing vessel.
