Alaskan ferry worker hurt in ramp accident at Fairhaven terminal | Bellingham Herald - The News Tribune: BELLINGHAM - An Alaska ferry worker was injured Friday, Nov. 2, after a support cable snapped on the passenger loading ramp she was standing on at Bellingham Cruise Terminal, in Fairhaven. The Alaska Marine Highway ferry ramp operator, who was not identified, was standing near the edge of the passenger ramp at 3:20 p.m., lowering it into place on the stern of the ship, witnesses said. Just as it got parallel with the ground, a cable snapped - it wasn't clear why - and the ramp collapsed. Some wooden pilings kept it from falling further. The woman fell a distance of about 20 feet, landing on the damaged ramp.
