Was It That Serious?? Woman Jumps Off Cruise Ship In The Middle Of A Twerk-Off

Woman Leaps From Cruise Ship During Twerk Argument Yet another cruise ship passenger has taken a dive off the side of the boat in the middle of a disagreement on-board. This time, a woman attending an EDM party cruise to Cozumel got upset during an informal twerk competition with another passenger — before leaping to the waves below . Via WPTV : A “twerk-off” dance contest preceded a woman jumping from an EDM party cruise ship during the 2015 Mad Decent Boat Party late Thursday off the coast of Cuba. Speaking exclusively with NBC 6, Graham Hansen, who knows the woman, says he spoke with a mutual friend of theirs who was also on board that cruise. “She and some other girl who was calling herself ‘the twerk queen’ were having a twerk-off,” Hansen told NBC 6 via phone. “Twerk queen started twerking on her (the missing woman’s) boyfriend, and it caused some sort of issue between the two of them.” The woman reportedly jumped from the ship not long after the dance contest escalated. Hansen says their mutual friend on board the ship is “completely and totally mortified.” Norwegian Cruises say the woman intentionally jumped off the ship in the middle of all this…but the way it’s sounding, could it be possible that she attempted some sort of twerk trick on the edge of the boat and slipped? Either way, the woman has yet to be found by the Coast Guard, the party is over and the boat has pulled a u-turn to head home. Via TMZ : Mad Decent Boat Party is turning around early and heading back to port in Miami after a passenger jumped ship at sea … TMZ has learned. The EDM dance cruise, co-founded by Diplo, was bound for Cozumel when the woman went overboard — but they’ve decided to cut the trip short, instead of partying onshore in Mexico. The captain announced the change of plans over the ship’s loudspeaker Friday morning. The party organizers say they believe the woman, who’s still missing, intentionally jumped on Thursday night. Yikes. What is with all these upset passengers taking a running leap off the boat when they get into it with someone? SMH. Twitter

7.0 Earthquake Strikes Off Coast Of Japan, Triggers Small Tsunami

SMH. What is going on today ? Earthquake Strikes Japan A 7.0 earthquake has struck just north of Japan , causing weather officials to take note and very closely monitor the situation. Via CNN : An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 struck northwest of Japan’s Ryukyu Islands on Friday, but there was no immediate tsunami danger to the U.S. West Coast, British Columbia and Alaska, the National Tsunami Warning Center said. The quake was about 90 miles off the western shores of Makurazaki, Japan, the U.S. Geological Survey said. “Based on earthquake information and historic tsunami records, the earthquake was not sufficient to generate a tsunami,” the warning center said Friday. But according to the BBC , a small tsunami was actually triggered. Thankfully, it wasn’t large enough to cause any devastation: The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said a 30cm (1ft) tsunami was registered on the southern Nakanoshima island, part of Kagoshima prefecture. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. A tsunami warning issued for Kagoshima and Satsunan islands was later lifted. The quake happened at a depth of about 10km (six miles). Hopefully everything will be alright!
