A ferry needing help

The Captain just came to my office

a few minutes ago

and told me to go start the engines.

My first thought?

"Seriously dude, I'm working on a blog post here."

It's 1030 PM.

We're not scheduled to go anywhere for a few days.

As I got up he said,

" A ferry with 30 people on board just lost power and crashed into the pilings."

Oh.

So I started then up

but we were beaten to the scene by 3 inland tugs

that happened to be in the neighborhood.

The ferry is on the right in the photo.

You can also see the two inland tugs that pulled her off the pilings.

The ferry was taken to it's ferry dock not too far away.

All passengers are safe,

tugs of all shapes and sizes are on scene to help

if needed. Police boats are scampering around basically getting in the way

and a Coast Guard helicopter is

overhead.

Quite a bit of excitement for a sleepy Tuesday night.
