[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first article I read about this awful accident right after it happened said that the grandfather lifted her up onto the guardrail but then stumbled and lost his hold on her. That makes a lot more sense to me. I think he purposely picked the open window. I don’t think it was random that he happened to lift her up to the only open window in that row. [/quote]
Grandpa changed his story as soon as the lawyer got involved. That’s a big part of why people are so appalled at the family’s behavior. Grandpa made a horrific mistake that killed his grandchild. Own it. Stop placing blame where it doesn’t belong. [/quote]
[b]I bet the part about her leaning forward to bang on the glass is true.[/b] She probably did think there was glass, leaned forward and that is when Grandpa lost his hold on her. This case is similar to the one where the mother picked up her son to see into the painted dog enclosure and he fell. She lost her grip and he fell into the enclosure where he was immediately killed by the animals. In that case the zoo settled despite there being warning signs. I’m sure that RC will settle. [/quote]
I don’t. If that really was what happened it would have been in the first statement, not in the one where Grandpa changed his story and was what was  released by the lawyer. Generally our first thoughts/words are the truth.

I find it interesting that RC hasn’t settled yet. There were a lot of comments in the other thread about the ship not being subject to US laws. And unlike the Disney case, the public doesn’t seem to be behind this family. RC may just let this drag out. It’s not impacting the cruising business.[/quote]
