Just flipped on the tv, came to FR, did a search and found this from May 4th: Times Square car bomb suspect reportedly sketched map depicting Staten Island Ferry
No more yet, they are interviewing passengers who say that "the ferry SPED UP and hit the dock..."
TIN FOIL HAT ON.
FU Napalitano. NOW she’s talking about the flood in Tennessee.
BS
Napalitano is talking like she’s hungover or drugged...
Both pneumatic (air pressure) control and electronic have fail-safes that default to idle speed on the engines and neutral for the transmissions.
If you have the standard Westinghouse air controls, the moment the air pressure drops, whether by leak/breakage or via the bridge controls, everything drops to neutral. It has been a reliable safety feature for over 50 years.
Been there...done that.
FOX anchor says 60-65 injured, so far.
Also in ‘damage control’ mode for the one...
.
Well gee that would be 2 under Obama, so nah, they won’t report that but they are ALL comparing to the 2003 incident...
"A woman waiting at the ferry terminal told NY1 that a “black plume of smoke” emerged from the back of the ferry boat."
A North Korean 2 man submarine is suspected as having fired the torpedo after the crew had a lunch break at Coney Island.
Bush is to blame for NK`s taking revenge for lack of of kimchee for the Coney Island hot dogs.
I don’t think the jihadis are using some 1930s movie serial energy beam to disable ferry boat controls. Either it’s poor maintenence or pilot error or both. There are layoffs coming in the Apple and this may be someone’s idea of resistance.
the pilot probably fell asleep. Just like the guy from last year.
They are 100% right /s
Fox reporting one critical, 20 people being evaluated for seriousness of injury.
Fox—steering malfunction.
May 8th signicicant in any way??
Report: Staten Island Ferry on terror hit list
Staten Island’s iconic Ferry may have been in the cross-hairs of Times Square
terror suspect Faisal Shahzad.
A hand-drawn map of the ferry — as well as the nearby Bowling Green subway
station and the Lexington Avenue lines that serve it — was found on a Metro-
North train heading for Connecticut, according to a television report. The map
was believed to be the work of Shahzad, who lives in the Nutmeg State.
The ferry’s high-recognition value makes it a tempting target for would-be
terrorists. In the aftermath of 9/11, the U.S. Coast Guard began monitoring the
threat level, and dogs were employed to sniff for bombs.
As soon as we got to the port it just slammed right into the dock and pushed
everybody back. It was chaos, pandemonium. It was something like I’ve never
been through in my life,” ferry passenger Alex Gonzalez told NY1.
Damage control mode for Obama, news is reporting the ‘story will be it was a
steering issue, but CNN reported it is a ‘throttle issue’....
But keep up with the ‘minimalist’ theory it works for some..
CNN ‘throttle issue’.
Have they released the name of the Captain yet? Why was there no warning until just prior to crash? Did Capt not see they were approaching the dock?
What is the blood level salt limit for driving in NY BTW?:)
