An official with the local fire dept. is saying that two men fell into the water when the Carnival Triumph broke free due to high winds. One report says it was someone from the ship that fell in and another says they were working on a guard tower nearby. The reports coming in are conflicting, but of course Carnival doesn't want to look worse than they already do. Huffington Post reported that it was two shipyard workers who fell into the water. They said the missing man works for BAE Systems that runs a ship-repair operation on the Mobile River.
One man was recovered from the water, but another man is still missing in the water at this time. It sounds like they are doing all that they can to find him. At this time there are no updates on his recovery. The one man who fell into the water and was saved is at the hospital being treated for hypothermia.
