Michael Gansas, who super vised the pilot operating the ferry when the crash occurred, had refused to meet with National Transportation Safety Board investigators on Tuesday, prompting federal officials to issue a subpoena. On Wednesday, Gansas’ attorney, Stephen Sheinbaum, said his client remained too traumatized to speak with investigators and was under medical care. Gansas failed to show up at the Staten Island hotel where he was supposed to meet with NTSB officials. “Mr. Gansas remains with his family as they try to deal with the tragic consequences of last week’s events,” Sheinbaum said. “Mr. Gansas is being unfairly vilified by those who should know better.” Sheinbaum added that Gansas plans to cooperate when he is “legally and medically free to do so.” Hours before the scheduled meeting, Weinshall said she notified Gansas that he was sus pended effective immediately over his refusal to cooperate. The NTSB issued a statement late Wednesday saying it to asked Gansas’ attorneys to p® vide documents “supporting their claim that the captt medically unable to appear® response to a subpoena.” “As recently as Tuesda) night, the attorneys in that the captain would appeari the appointed time and the NTSB said.
