Free drinks tonight for Ferry Captains!

Yep they deserve it!

Especially Brittany Catanzaro the captain of the second ferry to reach the aircraft.

But Catanzaro knew exactly what to do. She said she and her crew train each month for water rescues.
"We have to do man overboard, and we're constantly drilling. Constantly," she said. "And when something comes, you already know how to take effect and how to put everything together, so it just went very smoothly."
Catanzaro immediately told her crew to get life jackets on, take extras to throw in the water, and prepare a cradle to help bring passengers onto the boat. The boat was the second on the scene.
"When I got there, my crew went to work and started pulling out people," she said. "Some people were sighing with relief, some people were crying. It was nerve-wracking."
In all, Catanzaro's crew helped bring 24 people aboard.
I wonder if she drinks Coke or Pepsi?

(she is 20 and "under age")

She was in the news last month.
