Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts.

Quick Glance: Passengers Stranded: Drama Unfolds After Cruise Leaves Without Them
  • Eight passengers were left stranded on the African island of São Tomé and Príncipe after their ship departed without them as they were late to return from a private tour.

  • The group of eight tourists, six from the U.S. and two from Australia, were abandoned by the Norwegian Dawn cruise ship after failing to make it back on time, leading them to make their own travel arrangements to catch up with the ship.

  • Due to bad weather and tidal restrictions preventing the ship from docking in Banjul, Gambia, the guests had to travel through seven countries in 48 hours to rejoin the ship in Dakar, Senegal.

  • A silver lining of the ordeal was the encounter with another stranded passenger who was left behind on the island for medical reasons and was assisted by the other tourists to safely return home.
