SYDNEY (AP) — The cruise ship railing over which an Australian couple fell into the ocean was higher than industry regulations required and was designed to prevent accidental falls, a spokeswoman for the cruise company said Friday as an intense search continued for the missing passengers.
Paul Rossington, a 30-year-old paramedic, and his 26-year-old girlfriend Kristen Schroder, both from the town of Barraba in New South Wales state, were discovered missing Thursday morning after the Carnival Spirit docked at Sydney’s Circular Quay at the end of a 10-day journey, New South Wales Police Superintendent Mark Hutchings said.
