Ferry Sinks In Bc - 2001 ZTS - 03-22-2006 Goes to show it can happen anywhere. It happened at about 1am Pacific so just a couple hours ago, no links yet. Off Queen Charlotte Islands, 90 people rescued (I will assume that means everyone is thus safe), BC Ferries car ferry. Ferry Sinks In Bc - darkpuppet - 03-22-2006 from the canoe website.. Quote:VANCOUVER (CP) - Rescuers plucked dozens of people from lifeboats off B.C.'s Queen Charlotte Islands early Wednesday after a large ferry ran aground and sank in choppy seas. Ferry Sinks In Bc - NOS2Go4Me - 03-23-2006 Ran aground! "Yar, there be whales in me drive-through again. No more coffee till we hit the mainland boys!" Ferry Sinks In Bc - habmann - 03-23-2006 Well i'm glad everyone is ok, but i got the feeling that the captain needs to look for a new career. Ferry Sinks In Bc - Casper - 03-23-2006 Could you imageine if the ship was at capacity? Would never happen on that dead route.... but that's the reason ferry sinkings are disasters to the rest of the world... Ferry Sinks In Bc - meford4u - 03-23-2006 I read it here this morning and went to the tele to see the news. Nothing. That's why this site rules. Ferry Sinks In Bc - Casper - 03-23-2006 Well, nobody died, therefore, its not national news. Will just be a snippet on your local broadcast tonight. Was all over the news locally.... then again, there's always debate over BC Ferries, as it used to be a Crown Corporation that was sold off a few years ago to a private owner. Ferry Sinks In Bc - FociPhil - 03-24-2006 I heard on the new that they are looking for a couple. They are almost positive they didnt die. But they were on the ferry. They think they just hoped on a boat and continued thieir trip to Prince Rupert...?!??!! Who survives a ferry sinking and hitchs a ride to shore and continue on? Like it never happened!

But they were on the ferry. I would... especially if I didn't lose anything..why not? the other 100 people can't tell the story? and besides, I've got plans! Ferry Sinks In Bc - FociPhil - 03-24-2006 well im just thinking most people would stick around...but then again if i came close to dying, i would certainly be going out for a drink or 12. Ferry Sinks In Bc - Casper - 03-24-2006 Which, oddly enough, is ALL there is to do in Prince Rupert. Pulp mills and bars. Ferry Sinks In Bc - ANTHONYD - 03-24-2006 My Hydrographer friend was telling me lastnight (He spoke to the office in BC) and said the ferry may have hit land. The only rock in the 5 KM mouth is like 300 yards off shore and it well known. (It's the only rock there) Human error is what they're thinking was the ultimate cause. Sad. Ferry Sinks In Bc - CanadaSVT - 03-24-2006 Still looking for two people.
