The MV ''Andrew J. Barberi'' is one of two ''Barberi''-class ferry boats (the other boat is MV ''Samuel I. Newhouse'') operated as part of the Staten Island Ferry between Manhattan and Staten Island in New York City. The ''Barberi'' was named after the longtime coach of Curtis High School's football team, who had died shortly before the ship was commissioned. Barberi coached throughout the 1950s, '60s and '70s and was instrumental in the development of scholastic football on Staten Island. ==2003 accident== (詳細はdecapitation, and 70 more were injured (including one man who lost his legs), as a result of the ''Barberi'' hitting a pier on Staten Island. The ''Barberi'' was rebuilt in West Brighton, Staten Island by Caddell Dry Dock & Repair Co. and on July 1, 2004, returned to regular service. On March 8, 2005, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) published a report on its investigation into the incident. The NTSB determined the probable cause of the collision was the assistant pilot's unexplained sudden incapacitation, with a contributory cause of the Master's failure to maintain command and control of his vessel. ''60 Minutes'' uncovered that the assistant pilot was short on sleep when he crashed the boat. The assistant pilot tried to commit suicide after the crash and admitted he had passed out on painkillers in the boat's pilothouse. He later pleaded guilty to 11 counts of seaman's manslaughter. The ferry director also pleaded guilty after failing to enforce a rule requiring that ferries be operated by two pilots.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10778306/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/pilot-ferry-accident-sentenced-months/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MV Andrew J.
