NEW YORK — The city
Wednesday moved to fire the
Staten Island Ferry captain
involved in last week’s fatal
crash after he refused for a sec
ond day to meet with federal
investigators.
“We are drawing up charges
as we speak based on his refusal
to cooperate,” said Iris
Weinshall, city transportation
commissioner.
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

Her ideas created the new Explorer SportTrac.
And a media frenzy.
She wanted to develop new materials for automotive uses. She ended
up developing a brand new automotive category.
Candy’s ideas played a key role in the development of the tonneau
cover for the all-new Explorer SportTrac. She worked with suppliers
to develop the. concept. She designed the parts. She conducted m
testing. And she even worked with Ford assembly on installation. ii
And when the SportTrac was introduced to the world, so was
Candy. The media actually mentioned her by name in several
publications. Of course, at Ford Motor Company we’ve always
believed that credit should go where credit is due. And in the
case of the new Explorer SportTrac, Candy deserves all
the credit in the world. Imagine where your ideas could take you
when you explore the world of Ford Motor Company.
