Which was wrongly reported as expected from modern journalism.
But the child’s parents, who are reportedly from Indiana, USA, are blaming their daughter’s death on the cruise ship liner.

They say she died by falling through a window which had been left open the children’s play area.
how does a toddler slip through a window of this height, aside from being held out of it ?
"Chloe Wiegand apparently slipped from her grandfather’s hands on Sunday while he was holding her out of an 11th-floor window on the Freedom of the Seas"

I don't see the wooden railing mentioned anywhere. Except if it right against the window frame.

The attorney for the family of 18-month-old Chloe Wiegand says she loved banging on the glass at her brother's hockey games. That's why her grandfather, Salvatore Anello, picked her up and sat her on a wooden rail in front of what he thought was a wall of enclosed glass windows, he said.

It is there. See post #29
Maybe not that window. But you can see the rail.

Amazing how the media report he dropped baby, but they cant say from which window.

Ever seen an american car? big yellow warning labels & annoying alarms for doors, seatbelts etc etc etc

Oddly more the case for European cars or Europe targeted cars and not so much actual American ones.

So how did she get up to the height of the window?

Or do they make these windows with glass right on the ground?
See post 28 for picture of windows.

See article for explanation.

Grand dad picked kid up to stand on rail not realising there is no window. Kid standing rail want to bang glass but instead bang air and fall out.

Yes I’ve read it many times and your picture further supports my opinion.

It still reeks of bullshit.

Even a blind person would be feeling the temperature difference coming off the see air from an open window, if not an obvious draft.

It is very obvious if a window of that size is missing. More so in a row of them next to each other.

It’s the kakkest excuse I’ve ever heard for someone doing something utterly stupid.

Did grandpa mean to drop the kid? Most likely not.

Did he mean to dangle her out of a window for shits and giggles and then lost his grip or footing? Absolutely.
