I'm watching this on the news now, there is some serious damage on the inside of the ferry...looks like it hit the corner of the pier and not the actual slip. Wood pilings wouldn't have done that much damage...
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!
They believe the ferry hit a concrete construction pier.
The thick steel support columns were all snapped in half and bent back. :o
In addition, the news stations are all reporting that one of the co-captains (the ferry has two at all times) apparently fled to his home following the incident, slit his wrists, and shot himself twice in the chest with a pellet gun. He must have changed his mind about suicide, since he called 911 to report that he was responsible for the crash, and they got him to a hospital.
*UPDATE: Additional reports on the captain who fled indicate that he may have been asleep at the wheel at the time, and for whatever reason his co-captain was not also at the helm.
