Union VP says ‘inexperienced’ workers behind Wolfe Island Ferry incident
Eyewitnesses said that after the ferry seemingly docked, a dump truck began pulling off the boat while pedestrians walked off.
As the dump truck drove off, the ferry pulled backwards, opening a gap between the two gates and nearly plunging a pedestrian into the frigid water below.“The ferry dock, ramp, it just sagged, like to the water level, basically,” said James M. James said the man who nearly fell into the water was a friend of his, and that he was saved by a people walking in behind him who pulled him back to safety.“Apparently he was inches from the water,”
James said his friend is alright, but now the question remains: how could something like this have happened?“When they bring in the temporary agency employees, it’s certainly hard on our guys,” he said. “The MTO has said it was a ramp failure but it wasn’t a ramp failure. There were inexperienced people working on the boat,” added James.
