CCTV footage shows a man running down the ramp of the Blue Horizon ferryboat, just as it\u2019s getting ready to leave the port. At this point, the sea vessel is still connected to dry land, but as two crew members attempt to stop the man from coming aboard, the boarding ramp retracts and the man falls into the gap between the ferryboat and the port. At this point, the crew appears to do absolutely nothing to help the man, who is clearly struggling. The boat simply continues its journey to the island of Crete, before being ordered to return to Piraeus by the port authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Videos shot by ferryboat passengers and eyewitnesses on land show the man trying to stay afloat, but no one actually does anything to help. It\u2019s unclear how much time passed until the Coast Guard finally arrived, but one thing is for sure \u2013 by the time they pulled him out of the water, the man was unconscious, and he was later pronounced dead.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"es\" xml:lang=\"es\">\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\uddf7 | El incidente ha conmovido a toda Grecia.
