Lightbulb New York - NCL Spirit has nudged the pier this morning, no injuries/minimal damage

Apparently a cruise ship has hit a pier in New York. Not sure which ship as yet. NCL Dawn & Spirit along with Carnival Miracle are all in port today. Dawn is on Pier 92...so it is either Spirit or Miracle.

Quote:
NEW YORK -- A cruise ship coming into the passenger ship terminal at West 50th Avenue and 12th Street crashes into Pier 90, authorities said.

The incident happened at about 8:45 a.m.

Authorities are trying to determine whether the columns that hold up the pier were damaged.

No injuries were reported.

Further information was not available at this time.

This will be updated as the ship name is confirmed.

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A Norwegian Cruise Line ship struck a column at Pier 88 on Manhattan's West Side Sunday morning.

No one was hurt.

It happened as the vessel was docking following a nine day cruise to the Caribbean.

Most passengers say they didn't feel much as the ship bumped the pier. Others say they sense a jolt at the Norwegian Spirit entered its berth took quickly.

There was minor damage done to the ship. A beam on the pier was taken out.

Buildings inspector were on the scene checking the damage.

Although not able to actually see much, Spirit has dented her snout and her bow radar housing is damaged, radar power cut off. The railing behind the radar is a little drunk looking, leaning to the right everso slightly.
