An ordinary flight from new York ferry-taxi plying the Hudson river between Manhattan and new Jersey resulted in the accident, which injured 30 people.
July 28, a passenger ship transport system New York Water Taxi crashed into a pier No. 79 in Manhattan near the Lincoln Tunnel. As noted in the fire Department, the cause of the accident was that the front of the ferry mooring was still moving with too high speed. Steering was late to start the braking process, so the ship did not stop in time and crashed into the pier.
«The ferry was moving faster than normal. People were just preparing to land, so after the collision, everything just fell. Good that there were no serious injuries,» said NBC chief of the fire Department of Manhattan Roger Sakovich.
About 30 passengers got off with bruises and bruises, although several persons were taken to the hospital for additional examinations.
The representative of the company Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises, which owns New York Water Taxi, said that the incident is under investigation at the Maritime Association, which regulates the commercial boat industry in the port of new York.
