A dad did what any panicked parent would —
he dove straight into the Atlantic after his young daughter fell off a Disney cruise ship —
and the wild rescue played out in real time via passengers’ phones.
It all went down around 11 AM Sunday —
when a little girl,
about 5 years old, fell overboard
from the 4th deck of the $900M
Disney Dream as it cruised back
to Fort Lauderdale from the Bahamas …
and without missing a beat,
her dad jumped in right after her and rescued her.
The two were left treading rough
waters for a nerve-shredding
20 minutes until they were rescued by boat staff.
It’s still a mystery how the girl fell overboard —
especially with plexiglass safety barriers in place.
