In another incident, an 18-month-old girl fell to death from the 11th storey of a cruise ship in Puerto Rico. The little girl was playing with her grandfather in a kid's area on the 11th floor of Freedom of the Seas at the time of the freak accident. "Chloe wanted to bang on the glass like she always did at her older brothers' hockey games. Her grandfather thought there was glass just like everywhere else, but there was not, and she was gone in an instant," Michael Winkleman, a Miami attorney who's representing the girl's family, said in a statement.

The toddler and her extended family were vacationing together aboard the Freedom of the Seas cruise ship, operated by the Royal Caribbean cruise line. Both her sets of grandparents, her younger brother and her parents were on board the ship at the time. "You have a wall of windows with one hidden hole," said Winkleman. "Unknowingly, the grandfather placed the girl on the wood railing before the wall of windows, believing Chloe will bang on the glass and the next thing he knows, she's gone," added the attorney.
