Staten Island Ferry Crash
Lower Manhattan has had a rough couple of months since I moved here. First the shooting at City Hall, then the second anniversary of 9-11, and now a fatal Staten Island Ferry crash (and CNN just reported that the ferry pilot committed suicide tried to commit suicide shortly afterward). And I was just talking to Sparky last night (as I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time with him) about how I hadn’t ridden the ferry yet…
Just to be clear, it was an attempted suicide, not a successful one. Also, you should definitely ride the ferry as it is free, fun, usually crash-free and has great views.
