The damn tldr bot always misses the important part…
He tried to push past two crew members on the ramp who stopped him and manhandled him onto the quay.
When the man once again stepped onto the ramp, one crew member stopped him and pushed him off as the ferry was departing, with the man vanishing into the growing gap between the vessel and the quay.
Edit: The video
Video title says he had no ticket but he had one as confirmed by the minister. He had been on the ship before but ran off for a moment for unknown reasons and came back just as it was leaving.
So pushing people into the sea is suddendly not okay?
If pushing people into the sea is wrong, I don’t want to be right!
You need to make them walk off the plank
But of course I wouldn’t do that, but they don’t know o they are thinking I will.
Because of the implications.
Right? What if they were in international waters? Is that also not OK? I’m just trying to find the line here.
About 20 km off the coast
Sounds like the guy was an entitled dick, but that’s not a death sentence crime…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
It showed the passenger running onto the Blue Horizon ferry’s loading ramp, which was still down and in place on the quay, as the ship had cast off its moorings and was about to leave.
In a social media post, Miltiadis Varvitsiotis, Greece’s minister of maritime affairs, expressed “shock, horror and sorrow” Wednesday at the incident.
“All the necessary actions are being taken by the Piraeus Port Authority to clarify the case and assign responsibility,” he wrote in a separate social media post.
Attica Group, which owns the Blue Horizon, issued a brief statement saying it was “devastated by the tragic incident” and would cooperate with the authorities.
The ferry’s captain, first mate and two more crew members were due to appear before a Piraeus prosecutor to be formally charged later Wednesday.
Piraeus is Greece’s biggest port and the main gateway for millions of travelers visiting the country’s Aegean Sea islands and Crete every year.

Sounds like a Darwin award to me, honestly
It would be a darwin award if he jumped a gap and fell.
Being intentionally pushed into the churning sea next to departing vessel, even when being rude, is a case of manslaughter or murder 2. That can fucking kill people, and anyone working that boat would know it.
The fact that the men that pushed him in didn’t even attempt to help him means murder 2 to me.
