Witness tells of accident and aftermath..At least 57 people were injured at around 8:45 a.m. Wednesday morning
when a ferry crashed into a dock at a pier in Lower Manhattan, New York.
According to CNN, one person is in critical condition and is being
treated at a nearby hospital. "People were thrown into the air and onto
the ground," passenger Elizabeth Banta told CNN. "There were definitely
many people on the ground who were not moving." The Seastreak ferry
transports commuters from New Jersey to Pier 11 near Wall Street. The
ferry departed from Highlands at 8 a.m. and had over 200 people on
board. The 141 foot vessel is able to carry 400 passengers

If 50,000 people/year were killed by ferries they probably would.

The only way to stop a bad captain with a ferry is a good captain with a ferry

@devries I love people like you. Your weak anti-US envious jokes contradict each other all the time. First we are "poor nation of idiots and have the most users on crack" then you turn around on another topic and say "americans are all fat" -- you dipshits clearly have not been to America or any other nation that has food. It's like you people are jealous we have more food and you don't want to see it all go to one source since you're so hungry LOLOL

Actually, each time I visit the US, there's hardly any food available because it has all been eaten immediately after harvesting/slaughtering by ferry using natives

@Poutso I beg to differ. The both have the same function, price, and accessibility. Hell i never realized that assault rifles were actually ferries. Thanks for bringing this to my attention Poutso, you are wise beyond your years.
