Woman Medi-Vac'd from Gem

[Barb Nahoumi]

I recently read in the Barnstable-Hyannis Patch, about a passenger who was Medi-Vac'd from the deck of the Norwegian Gem.

 

According to the article, she might have suffered internal injuries, and was taken to Cape Cod hospital. We pray for her speedy recovery.

Just wondering if anyone was on board when this happened .

We weren't onboard when this happen but did have a similiar incident last year on the TA from Barcelona to Miami on the Epic. We were about 10 hours from Portugal when at about 6:00am the windows, slider, room, bed etc started shaking. We thought we had a vibrating bed, when I opened the slider and felt like I was going to be sucked out. Drapes got sucked out on the balcony when I opened the slider and when I looked out there was a helicopter hovering over the upper deck. We were on deck 16, in the Haven, and they were trying to air lift someone in a basket off deck 18. Was pretty amazing to watch but sad to think what was wrong with the poor person. They also lifted the hushand up secured by an emergency person, non basket lift.

I hope she is alright. We have friends on the Gem right now.
