The United States Coast Guard is involved in an extensive search and rescue at the moment in the Bahamas for an American citizen who fell overboard while vacationing on a big cruise liner.

This from the Associated Press:

The U.S. Coast Guard said the 32-year-old woman reportedly fell from the 11th deck of the Carnival Ecstasy as the ship passed near the island of Grand Bahama. Carnival Cruise Line reported that she apparently jumped overboard.

A statement from the cruise company said emergency procedures were initiated immediately and the crew began to search for the woman. The U.S. Coast Guard aircraft and two ships to an area about 27 miles (about 43 km) southwest of the island of Grand Bahama to look for her.

The cruiser was on its way to finishing up the tour in Charleston, South Carolina. The lost woman has not been ID’ed as of yet, but we’ll update this post if there’s any further breaks on the story.
