Nearly three decades ago, Amy Bradley disappeared from a cruise ship, sparking endless questions and theories. Her family believes she may still be alive, rejecting that she fell or jumped into the ocean.
She was last seen on the balcony of the Rhapsody of the Seas, with evidence found that could suggest accidental or intentional overboard moments. Yet experts say ocean currents would likely have brought her body ashore if she had gone overboard, which has not occurred.
The tragedy draws attention to cruise ship safety, where advanced man overboard alarms use radar and AI to monitor ship edges and detect falls in real time.
Disney Cruise Line leads in this technology, while other lines adopt systems to improve passenger safety.
Though incidents are rare, such alarms provide vital protection. US legislation has pushed for this tech but enforcement lagged until reliability improved.
Amy’s disappearance highlights the importance of these safety advances to prevent future losses.
