Hey Mitch! Remember those shitty boats with the color seats? Well, one of 'em took a good beating so one down, one to go. ...and I'm fine, didn't take the ferry today (not as early as 3:00pm in any case).

The bad news is that >10 people are dead and the scene was something that one wouldn't want to be involeved in as part of their daily commute.

Looks like this SK user is taking the X bus for awhile.

Thoughts to the casualties and families.

Really? It was one of the shitty boats? I'm pretty sure it was the one with the benches..

It was the Barbari. Do you have an account with the NY times? They cover it pretty well.

Oh, ok. Because I read on one of the news sites that it was the boat that a car fell off of a few years ago. I thought the only boat that carried vehicles was the one with the wooden seats.

Thats what I thought. I heard something similer. 1010 WINS reported that it was one of the boats that carried cars.

Yea, looks like you're right. Too bad the Kennedy class ships will be retired next year:

As long as they dont have multi-colored plastic seats, they might actually be pretty nice.

I was wondering about you guys when that happened.

2003-10-18 08:47:30 ET

Why, thank you Angel and SkyMoshingWoman. As far as I know everyone I know is fine. I've gotten so many phone calls from plenty of random people that its almost making me sick but I'm real thankful that I have friends that care.
