Heard that too! Very strange. That's a HUGE boat and it travels relatively slow. When it docks, it can't be moving more than 2-3 knots pulling onto a VERY wide V shaped dock. WTF???

I just read this little bit -

" The mayor said earlier reports that one of the ferry's captains was dead after committing suicide was "erroneous." However, local television station NY1 later reported that the captain was hospitalized after slitting his wrists and shooting himself with a BB gun in his Staten Island home."

See now this is why gun control is all wrong. When you've really screwed the pooch at work and slaughtered ten commuters, you need to be able finish your poor disgraced self off with a little more finality than going Private Pyle with the Red Ryder.

<knock knock knock> "Channel 1 News, sir! Can you come to the door?"
<ping> OW! <ping> OW! <ping> Crap! <ping> OW! <ping> Shit!
