"New York-WABC, October 15, 2003) A FDNY source is saying that at least 14
people are dead after a Staten Island Ferry crashed into a dock.

The accident occurred as the ship, the Andrew J. Barberi, arrived on the
Staten Island end of its run across New York Harbor, said Mike Loughran, a
fire department spokesman.

Justin Girard, a witness to the accident, told NY1 that he saw smoke and
heard screams after the ferry crashed at the St. George Terminal. The front
end of the ferry suffered extensive damage to the right side of its hull."
