PHILIPSBURG--The tourist whose lower right foot was severed by the blades of a water taxi propeller during a horrific accident on Tuesday, had jumped into the water and was swimming to the vessel when he was sucked under the back of the boat’s platform resulting in the mishap. The team had locked in bigger ships to allow even more people to take part in the Ubersoca experience. They were also set to sail for 5-days versus the normal 4 to two exotic locations. The team was able to sell out 65% of the ship, but they knew that providing a top-notch experience would be the key to drawing in new passengers, and keeping the returning ones coming back. Chief of Police for St. Thomas, St. John and Water Island Districts, Steven Phillip, also expressed his gratitude to the community. “I would like to thank the community for keeping the Uber Soca Cruise events fun and safe.

The Caribbean is full of jewels – from its people, paradises, food, tunes, and vibes.

So, this invite truly came at a great time when I’ve been feeling this urge to connect more with my Caribbean ancestry.

Over 7,000 people from countries including Australia, Kuwait, Poland, France, Sweden, Japan, UK, USA, and the Caribbean— took part in this carefully curated and well-executed Caribbean experience. After taking a few cruises with his family, Nathaniel Turner realized that the programming on cruise ships didn’t necessarily cater to him, or Caribbean culture. Instead, he thought it would be pretty cool to create an experience for Caribbean culture in a cruise format. The injured man is seen being lifted from the pier in videos and pictures with his leg first bandaged and then subsequently knotted to stop the bleeding.
He did not fall between the boat and the pier while either exiting or embarking the vessel as was previously reported to this newspaper by police spokesperson Ethelwoldus Josepha on Tuesday. Aparicio and his girlfriend, Su Hninyi, were in the Uber headed toward a cruise port when the tanker flipped on its side and burst into flames. A total of five cars were involved in the crash on I-95 near Atlantic Avenue. Florida Highway Patrol officials said one of the cars, driven by Robert Hall, traveled into the tanker's lane of travel, causing a collision. All eastbound traffic traveling from downtown will be directed towards the Emancipation Garden and onto Norre Gade to continue traveling eastbound.
