The ship's capacity is almost 4,000. So yes there are literally thousands of people, although granted not in that immediate area. Not to mention it was in port so there would have been people in the port. And yes, people on the dock do look at and take pictures of ships in port. I did it myself six weeks ago and I wasn't the only one.

The ships capacity has absolutely nothing to do with the point. Since you clearly just want to argue senselessly, I will refrain from responding to further posts of yours.

It does have to do with the point, because the ship boarded that day so that many people were around, besides the other people who were in port. How is it arguing to state that? It's something to be considered.

You have been arguing senselessly this whole thread, so pot/kettle?

Most of her statements here have made much more sense than most of your posts in this thread.

I'm guessing because your point of view agrees with hers. I disagree.

And what was your point exactly?

Yes, there are thousands of people on the ship, but that doesn't mean they were all looking at that window. A lot of people are getting something to eat, checking out their rooms and other interior parts of the ship, or still inside the terminal getting ready to board the ship. There were not thousands of people who could have potentially had their eyes on "grandpa", far from it.

I didn't say they were all looking at the window. I said there were thousands of people milling around, inside and outside the ship. Someone had commented that it's hard to believe no one saw what was happening. And I commented that yes, there would have been literally thousands of people. It makes sense that the person would wonder why ONE out of all those people didn't see what happened.

What is YOUR point exactly?

Everyone on that ship was on vacation. They had just boarded the ship. They're checking out the ship, enjoying their time with those they are on vacation with. People aren't going to be watch what some older guy over at a window is doing. It's not like he was in the middle of all that was going on. He was under a covered area towards one end of the deck.

The number of people on the ship doesn't really matter, as only those who were in that specific area of that one deck would have even been able to see "grandpa". Those anywhere else on the deck would not have had a clear view of him. Those on the deck above would have had to be leaning over the railing to see what was happening at a window below. Anyone on lower decks would have had their heard sticking out the window and starting up above them, which would be pretty difficult to do.

The prosecution said they had witnesses from both off/on the island that they were going to use if they went to Court.

What I find amazing is the media doesn't seem to try to find who these witnesses were and try to get their stories. Not one.

The news media is bad, but how would you propose they find witnesses, when they don't even know who they are? That one Puerto Rican TV show managed to get the videos. So it seems they were trying. But more then likely witnesses had been told not to talk to the media.
