Large ships docked when big waves are dangerous
This incident happened in the Port of Hamburg on the Ferry "Tollerort" on line 68 bringing some Airbus Plant employees to work in the morning. According to the Police three people sustained minor injuries, i.e. cuts from shards of the broken window. The ferry, which is part of the Hamburg public transportation system, was never in peril and moored at a terminal where the passengers could disembark. The injured were treated by a doctor of the public transportation operator. One was treated as outpatient at the hospital (everything covered by insurance). One lady, who got soaked and also sustained cuts on her hands, went to work after receiving treatment from the operator's doctor.The glass panes are supposed to withstand such stress and this has never happened before, which is why the incident is now under thorough investigation by the operator and the authorities concerned.
