Dangerous ,Late-running passenger sinks to her knees as she watches cruise ship pull away with her CHILDREN on board

A DISTRAUGHT mother sinks to her knees in disbelief as the cruise ship she was supposed to board sails away - with her children still on board. The dramatic moment was captured by a fellow passenger on board the giant ship as it steamed out of Nassau harbour in the Bahamas with the unidentified woman still on the quayside. It is unknown whether the children were alone or with another adult on the 4,000 capacity Norwegian Breakaway vessel which was headed for New York from the Caribbean paradise island.
The footage was posted to YouTube after the heart-wrenching moment last Thursday.
It is not known when the mum was reunited with her family.Speaking to the camera, an American man comments: "You see that right there, that is someone that has missed the boat."And apparently she has her kids on the boat and she is not on there. And there's a guy there too. That, right there is not cool. Because she was yelling: 'My kids are on there'.
"This ship ain't even trying to slow down either."

One commenter, who claimed to have witnessed the scene, said the children's father was with them on board and had been unable to locate their mother before the ship set sail.

Most commenters showed little empathy for the distraught woman.

One wrote: "And that's why you get back to the ship early and don't leave your kids on board."

Another said: "You are told again and again what time to be back on the boat, generally an hour before the ship leaves port. You can't blame the ship’s captain for keeping to a schedule."

But others blamed the skipper of the vessel, raging: "Does anyone know the captain’s name, we should message him, vile man."

It measures 326-metres in length and carries more than 1,600 crew in addition to 4,000 passengers.
