[VIDEO] Tourist Dies When Bahama Boat Excursion Goes Terribly Wrong

Vacations are often the highlights of our lives, brimming with family, friends, and unforgettable memories. They're events many of us eagerly anticipate. That's why it's particularly heart-wrenching when a joyous occasion transforms into a tragedy. This was precisely the case during a boating excursion in the Bahamas, where the unexpected sinking of the boat led to the tragic death of one individual 

The woman who did was an elder American. Very sad. 

From TMZ:

Tragedy's struck as a ferry carrying cruise ship passengers to Blue Lagoon Island in the Bahamas began to sink in choppy waters ... ultimately claiming the life of an elderly American woman.

Terrifying footage caught on camera shows panic-stricken passengers clinging on to the two-decker for dear life on Tuesday as it perilously tilted to one side ... with some people appearing to have fallen to one side of the lopsided vessel.

 In harrowing scenes, tourists were also seen plunging into the turbulent ocean to get away from the sinking ferry ... and police say that led to the death of a 75-year-old woman from Colorado.

The woman's name hasn't been released, nor has her cause of death.

In a TikTok shared soon after the disaster, fellow American tourist Kelly Schissel rehashed the events ... saying it was only when a bawling crew member ran up on deck for a life jacket they realized something was amiss.

In fact, crew members were in such hysterics that they couldn't instruct passengers on what to do -- but Kelly said they all managed to put on their life jackets and move to the boat's top level.
