3 downloads[/float]A crowded New Jersey ferry crashed Wednesday when docking in lower Manhattan, injuring 57 rush hour commuters who were tossed wildly across the damaged ship.
The Seastreak ferry bounced hard off two docking slips when arriving at Pier 11, sending riders tumbling down stairways and through glass doors before coming to a halt.
Two victims were in critical condition after the hard landing reduced the routine morning ride into a terrifying tableau of bloody passengers bolting from the damaged craft, authorities said.

Saw this this afternoon. At first I thought it was the S.I. Ferry again and was about to call my cousin to see if he was there and if he was okay. Luckily I then realized it wasn't.

Another sad story in New York..... 
I hope everyone recovers quickly from this.
The new (fantasy) sign at Stratford - Olympic Park Station, a complex shared by the DLR, London Underground, London Overground and National Rail services.
C - Central line
J - Jubilee line
SI - Stratford and Stratford International branch services of the Docklands Light Railway or DLR
2 - North London line of the London Overground
This is Stratford station, NYC Subway style.
