Staten Island ferry crash
 

I have such found memories of riding the Staten Island ferry as a child. I'm so shocked at what happened, it really hit home big time with me even thou I no longer live in that part of the nation. :(

Besides those that lost their lives there are some who lost their limbs including one woman who lost both of her legs. The captain of the ferry went home and tried to commit suicide.

Just in cash you don't know what I'm talking about here is the story.

Just tragic. :(

Things like this really make you realize we are not immortal. Very sad!

many a summer afternoon was spent just riding the ferry for 25 cents 1-way..with my son..we used to pretend we were pirates or deep sea fishermen or captain ahab.. and always rewarded ourselves with a soft icecream from the in terminal vendors on the SI side..

on the way back we'd share a few laughs at the expense of the staten island girls with their huge bouffed hair in front and 1 strand down the back.. LMAO.. *see working girl with melanie griffin for example*..


but most spectacular was the view returning to manhattan...with WTC looming over everything...

|sad|

last i heard the pilot fell asleep at the wheel...

I think it is about time for NYC to get a bit of a break
