The National Transportation Safety Board began an investigation of the rush-hour commuter ferry crash near Manhattan’s financial district that sent passengers flying and injured dozens.
The NTSB sent an 11-member “go team” to New York yesterday to examine why the ferry carrying passengers from New Jersey collided with a pier. The agency is empowered by Congress to probe accidents, determine their probable cause and make recommendations, Robert Sumwalt, a member of the board, told reporters yesterday at the pier.
