Ferry had a hard landing at Staten Island

On Nov 14, 2013, the "Guy V. Molinari" had a hard landing at Staten Island due to a power failure. Nobody was injured and the vessel remained apparently undamaged. The ferry had left the Whitehall terminal at 2 p.m. bound for Staten Island. The ferry had neared the Statue of Liberty before it began to slow down, turned around and went back to the Manhattan terminal. The ferry's crew told passengers to brace for impact and the boat hit the pier harder than usual. The vessel ran into the pilings and the lower level of a bridge at a low speed. The evening rush hour ferry service was running on a modified schedule due to the incident, causing delays for commuters.
