injuries was serious, but a few passengers were removed on
stretchers. Seventeen people were treated in area hospitals,

The New York Waterway ferry, with 57 passengers, had left from

in Jersey City when it made what officials called a hard
landing. No crew were injured.
Coast Guard officials were investigating the accident. The ferry
was later moved to a terminal in nearby Weehawken.
