Ferry Slams Into Pier in Santo Domingo
As per: http://gcaptain.com Some major damage at the port of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic after a ferry struck a pier while mooring on Thursday. Video shows the moment the ferry, named Kydon, slammed into the pier and several containers at the Don Diego terminal. Amazingly no injuries were reported. According to reports, the ferry had just arrived in Santo Domingo and was already partially tied up with its forward loading ramp down when the incident occurred. Another video posted online shows workers scrambling for safety as the vessel moved forward. The ferry, operated by Ferries Del Caribe, provides service between San Juan, Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo. It had only recently resumed service on May 3 after the fire on the Caribbean Fantasy last August put the service on hold. See videos at: |
Interestingly, in the later half of the video, as the film pans up and down the scene, there is a regular jerkiness. I take it to be the heartbeat of the film taker, and I can understand his agitaion.

Why on earth did the runner take his hard hat Off when he saw trouble coming and put it back on when the action was over?

As he felt it coming adrift he just grabbed it and took it off so as to not lose it. |
