Good thing I didn't goto work today. Although, I don't take the ferry. It's all over the news right now. The ferry was coming into the St. George (Staten Island) terminal from South Ferry (NYC), and hit the side pillars of the dock, which ripped the boat apart on the sides. They estimated as many as 15 people dead, 34 injured, along with people missing limbs. They had to be moving pretty fast, man. I've taken the ferry many times, and when it comes to the dock, it "bumps" the walls so it can line up correctly with the docking bay, but nothing like this.
