We should ban ferry’s transportation from our waterway, they are a safety hazard and innocent people are getting hurt and killed by these destructive devices. Just today A commuter ferry crashed into a pier in lower Manhattan 57 people. In October 2003, a Staten Island ferry crashed into a maintenance pier, killing 11 people and injuring dozens more, and the same vessel, the Andrew J. Barberi, was involved in a second accident in May 2010 that injured around 40 people.
The ferry pilot in the 2003 crash and his supervisor were sentenced to more than a year in prison each for their roles in the accident. The pilot, Richard Smith, had passed out at the helm.
I am sure it is not the pilot that is at fault, if they were not allowed access to these destructive devices
