  3. I can't believe how unobservant you lot are. For those of you who have never spent time in marine environments, things in the water float back and forth with the current, so the driver would not have been able to determine that the Ferry was actually pulling away. Apparently, the Ferry employees didn't know the Ferry was pulling away either, as opposed to just drifting with the current, because one pointed her into a parking space as she approached! When they saw it was actually pulling away, they ran off ramp. In most jurisdictions, it's the captains responsibility to ensure the safety of the crew and passengers, and the captain failed here. When passenger ships in the US depart, there is no ambiguity. The entire crew knows departure is underway because specific procedures are followed, and this usually includes untying the vessel and a few blasts of the horn to signal the boat or ship is pulling away from the dock. As to why she stopped and didn't continue forward, it looks like the back tire hit the edge of the deck at the mid point. That usually causes the tire to pop, and sometimes messes up the rims. I can tell you from the experience of being in a car that hit a curb like that, the jolt and sound would cause most people to stop to see what they hit. Remember, she only saw a smooth path in front of her, and probably had no idea what she hit. It appears the car might also be rear wheel drive. If you look closely, you can see water spray up when the back tires enters the water. Anyway, poor little girl. Horrible lack of safety procedures, and this line have received complaints about this in the past.
