Thanks for the comments and the facts! Good information!

[electromagnetic22]

A freak wave hit the ferries windshield and smashed the front windows. A passenger was swept off the boat and the rest of them swam to shore. Everyone got to land safely. This was Tuesday Morning just before 9am 2/3/2011 in Worser Bay, Wellington, New Zealand

Did you swim to shore? I'm surprised the windows smashed! Would thought the glass is laminated so it doesn't break

[electromagnetic22]

I'm not sure. I would be surprised if it did sink. I think they will tow it to the Chaffers Marina in Wellington's inner harbour. Will update this post when I find out
