Ferry loaded with hundreds of commuters from New Jersey crashed into a
dock in lower Manhattan on Wednesday, injuring around 50 people, at
least two critically. Passengers aboard the Sea streak Wall Street
said scores of people who had been standing, waiting to disembark,
were hurled to the deck by the impact. The accident, which ripped open
part the boat's hull like an aluminum can, happened at 8:45 a.m.at a
pier near the South Street Seaport, at Manhattan's southern tip. Fire
fighters were still carrying people away on flat-board stretchers an
hour after the crash. More than 340 passengers and five crew members
were aboard the ferry, which had arrived from Atlantic Highlands, a
part of the Jersey Shore.
