Video footage of the incident shows the moment the man, 24, risked his life by walking toward the edge of the boat with nothing but swim trunks on and simply leaping into the water.
“Underneath that ferry are three giant propellers. They will chew you up and spit you out,” Anderson told. “Somebody’s going to have to explain to your next of kin that there’s nothing left but bait.” Police have handed the investigation over to the US Coast Guard, which is responsible to enforce all violations under maritime law.The ferry was making its way to Bay Shore and was near the docks when the man jumped.Officials noted the man will likely face a $2,500 fine, the usual for first offenses involving rail jumping from a ship.that there were signs in the boat, which was carrying 359 passengers, warning them not to jump off or face a maximum fine of $25,000.
“They immediately threw over a life buoy and deployed our man an overboard ladder,” Anderson told the local outlet. “And the captain got on the P.A. system and directed the man to swim back to the ladder. He chose not to, and swam to the bulkhead.”
