In the Bahamas, a young woman who was celebrating her graduation from summa cum laude college was involved in a terrifying freak accident that resulted in the amputation of both of her legs.
It is believed that Hannah Smith, who is 22 years old, was on the first day of her trip when the event that occurred aboard the boat occurred on May 12th. She and a friend named Brooklyn Pitre were reportedly on a celebratory cruise on the Carnival Sunrise after she graduated, as reported by the Daily Mail. Following their excursions away from the ship, the two were making their way back to the vessel by means of a pontoon ferry. Approximately three minutes and fifty-five seconds after the little boat arrived at the Nassau Cruise Port, Hannah found herself in the water. According to reports, the propellers of the ferry dragged the young woman beneath the water, after which they partially cut her legs and encircled her in blood. Hannah was rescued from the sea by two of the female passengers on the boat, and she was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment or evaluation.
At the end of the second day, the individual who was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee was sent to a hospital in the United States for urgent surgical procedures. In the two and a half weeks that have passed since the boating accident, Hannah has been subjected to more than ten surgical procedures, according to the updates that have been supplied by her family and shared on GoFundMe. The recent graduate has been making progress despite the fact that she has experienced a number of medical complications and that doctors have done a number of extensive surgeries.
Due to the fact that different sources have provided different information, it is still unknown how exactly Hannah got into the water. Hannah is said to have plunged into the water, according to the captain of the pontoon ferry, who supposedly alerted the local police. The authorities have asserted that the usage of alcohol may have been a contributing factor in the unfortunate event. On the other hand, Tracy and Marvin Smith, the parents of the recent graduate, have denied that their daughter was under the influence of alcohol.
