St Louis Car 09 Posted May 8, 2010 Share #26 Posted May 8, 2010 They spent a fewmillion just to upgrade this boat and it crashes again.Waste of money.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted May 8, 2010 Share #27 Posted May 8, 2010 This isn't funny. 60 people were hurt. Needless to say that the SI express bus trip I had planned for next week is canceled. It's not like accidents are happening every day. The last boat crash was 7 years ago. Besides, there are other non-boat ways of getting to Staten Island even if you didn't want to take the ferry.

It's not like the ferry crash would have a detrimental effect on the express buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, there are other non-boat ways of getting to Staten Island even if you didn't want to take the ferry. On my Staten Island express bus trips, I usually take the express bus to SI and then backtrack on the SIR and ferry. Maybe this is a knee-jerk reaction. I really wanted to ride the X19 or X42.

If it bothers you so much then you don't have to take the ferry back to Manhattan; take the S53/79 to Brooklyn and hop on the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted May 9, 2010 Share #34 Posted May 9, 2010 That is so terrible. I have been on boats many times even with fear after that July incident. SIF really need to improve safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted May 9, 2010 Share #35 Posted May 9, 2010 It's the 2nd accident in 7 years. Why do you have to be so afraid of it? So don't ride that particular boat then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted May 9, 2010 Share #36 Posted May 9, 2010 Slighly little off-topic, before I went to Akron, OH via domestic flight from LGA to CLE, I was afraid of my flight because of news I heard that some airplanes will use half-fuel. When Roosevelt Island Tramway was fix after that April 6th incident, I still take ride it when it was operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The John F Kennedy boat swayed so much that I nearly became seasick when I rode it. I think it is the oldest boat in the fleet. I like the newer boats like Guy Molinari.

Bill from Maspeth Posted May 9, 2010 Share #39 Posted May 9, 2010 I am surprised after the fatal accidental crash from '03, that this boat was still in service.:eek: The incident in 2003 was 100% human error, so your statement is baseless. The newer ships have mechanical issues too, like stalling! I happened to ride the Barberi 3 weeks ago, rode the JFK back. In accordance to your political views, maybe we should rename the Barberi. My top 3 choices: The Governor David Patterson ( The Sarah Palin The Rush Limbaugh Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted May 9, 2010 Share #40 Posted May 9, 2010 It's the 2nd accident in 7 years. Why do you have to be so afraid of it? So don't ride that particular boat then. Exactly. Other people are still going to take it. Accidents happens once in a while. You can't expect the ferry to have perfect runs all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted May 9, 2010 Share #43 Posted May 9, 2010 Exactly. Other people are still going to take it. Accidents happens once in a while. You can't expect the ferry to have perfect runs all the time. I think I've rode this very boat a few years ago post 2003-crash. It was a typical ride like any other boat ride. It can happen to any boat. The incident in 2003 was 100% human error, so your statement is baseless. The newer ships have mechanical issues too, like stalling! I happened to ride the Barberi 3 weeks ago, rode the JFK back. In accordance to your political views, maybe we should rename the Barberi.

Too polarizing Concidering this boat crashed twice, I think it would be an insult to name it after anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
