10 Die on Staten Island Ferry, Captain Flees Scene, Then Attempts Suicide
Here's a bit: "An out-of-control Staten Island ferry plowed at cruising speed into a concrete pier at the St. George terminal yesterday - tearing the craft from stem to stern, killing 10 people and horribly mangling many more.
As the 1,500 passengers aboard the savaged ship were plunged into a nightmarish tangle of twisted metal and torn limbs, the pilot ran home and tried to kill himself, sources said.
"I'm in my bathroom, I slit my wrists," pilot Richard Smith told a 911 dispatcher, sources said. Smith, 53, also shot himself in the head and in the heart with a pellet gun, the sources said."
