Han River Boat Taxi Suspends Service Again After Ferry Runs Aground Near Chamsil
It is a bit surprising how many issues this ferry boat keeps having:
Seoul’s Hangang Bus service came to an abrupt halt again when one of its vessels ran aground 118 meters from Jamsil dock on Saturday evening. The incident took place less than two weeks after resuming operations following a monthlong service suspension due to repeated breakdowns.
The hybrid-powered ferry, carrying 82 passengers, stopped after striking the riverbed at 8:15 p.m. All aboard were safely evacuated within an hour by fire and police rescue teams. No injuries were reported.
City officials, led by Park Jin-young, head of Future Han River Headquarters, explained that the ferry’s propeller and protective skeg likely scraped the bottom of the riverbed, transferring a shock to the hull.

Bad driving or bad dredging?
That’s horrible.
Just last week, two fairies ran aground in Busan.
Ha! There is some sort of filter that caught the tasteful picture of two fully-clothed friendly Asian men on a beach.
This would have been perfectly acceptable if it was a man and a woman, as there was nothing sèxual.
But two men holding hands and looking each other deep in the eyes?
The insstitutional homophobia comes out.
Hold my hand CH and whisper sweet nothings 🙂
Stawp it, gurlfren!
