A ferry ran aground in the harbour today. A German tourist came on the news spot, stating - in a surprisingly subtle way - that it appeared that no one was pilotting the craft at the time it plowed into an extremely obvious point of land in Mosman. He - and a number of other eye-witness accounts - described the event by stating that the ferry just plowed straight towards the rocks, eventually colliding minutes after the passengers first noticed that something was amiss. They all agreed that the ferry hadn't even slowed.
