An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined a ferry captain fell asleep before a vessel crashed into a dock in Seattle last year.
According to their findings, the captain was incapacitated as a result of a “microsleep”—dozing off for anywhere from seconds to a few minutes. Investigators found probable cause the captain fell asleep, and the quartermaster was not actively monitoring the approach to the ferry terminal before contact. More
Probably a pretty boring job, making the same run back & forth all day. Still, they get big bucks to do it. Lots of momentum even going 2mph.
Seattle, so they must be crossing the River Styx.
Don’t fill it to the rim with Brim.
The Fauntleroy dock in West Seattle. I used to live a couple of miles from there. I have sailed out of that dock a number of times.
“Microsleep” lol my daughter said she was “microsleeping”when she rear-ended some woman in bumper to bumper traffic. Which is amazing, because her iPhone is grafted to her palm.
