some people are pretty seriously injured..one is critical according to msnbc report. when these ferries wreck it never seems to be a "minor" incident.

An object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by another force. In this case the objects in motion were humans

Of course its never minor when you have about 100tons of boat moving forward and hitting an object that doesnt move makes for a very hard sudden stop. I hope everyone on the ferry comes out ok.

I wonder if Chris or Brian were working.. Hopefully one of them will chime in and let us know how this happened

I think if they were there they probably were warned not to comment on the internet because there will probably be lawsuits involved.

Chris was working but not on that boat.

This a perfect example of why you are asked to remain in your seats til the aircraft has come to a complete stop. Looks like it applies to boats as well.

And that little rule that apparently was not enforced will be the fodder for a trillion lawyers :rolleyes:

I texted Chris yesterday when I heard about it. He was working but on a different boat.
