Go home ferry, ya drunk.
So it says three people injured but only two on board. Is that a typo or was someone on the dock injured?
I had a feeling it about time for another ferry strike… glad they’re ok

That darned Millenium to the rescue. Good thing she’s here, eh?
Sure as hell can’t blame the weather
Test the driver…I knew that fortified energy drink they where drinking last time would pop up again and come back to haunt them! Should have dealt with them properly the first time!!!
Unless you know driver, and you know all the facts you need to keep your mouth shut.
And the Union wonder why they wanted their own captain to run the new ferry in Bermuda..
and chris will call a strike to save the driver, o boy here we go…
Take a urine and blood and hair sample! It ain’t the weather!
Some of you ppl are idiots! One ferry accident and all the negative comments. Accidents happen all the time – like you’ve never had an accident while driving or riding. Why don’t you wait until the investigation is finished before passing judgement.
Agreed, lets wait to see the cause before jumping to conclusions.
Accidents do happen.
Because it will take five years for an incident report to come out!
Are we now? Not like there isn’t a history of these happening pretty frequently…
@ Tired…because we’re TIRED of the crap!!!!!!!

NEED MORE FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t argue with the truth.
You have highlighted 4 incidents with the ferries out of thousands of successful runs. 4 OUT OF 1000′s!!! are you seriously saying that this is a common occurrence? Accidents happen. We don’t know if the cause was human or mechanical. Lets not be quick to judge especially when we have 100′s of accidents PER WEEK on our roads. So according to the law of averages, some of you people pointing fingers have been in accidents yourselves. Lets just let the facts speak for themselves and the process run it course. If there was a major error on the operator’s part he will be dealt with. If it was a slight misjudgment then understandable. How many of us have tried to parallel on the street in town, misjudged the space and had to make a second attempt? We on the road have the luxury of friction with the ground and brakes. On the water they are floating on the water and there are no ‘brakes’.
I’ve seen it for myself!!! I’m a regular commuter!!! Start catching the ferry everyday!! Just the few incidents I’ve mentioned are the major ones!!! There have been a lot that don’t get reported!!! Myself and other commuters have complained to management and have seen no results!!!! striking the dock is one of the common complaints
@ so tired, makes you sick doesn’t it. If a govt worker gets caught doing anything wrong, you know, even as you’re reading the story in the paper about it that they will get away with it.
yes people need to be careful what they say before they speak
Sounds like u don’t catch the ferries!!!!
