Don’t use the S word

A tugboat company seeking millions for coming to the aid of a stricken Staten Island ferry

Legal tug-of-war for payout in tragic Staten Island ferry accident.

I love this coming to the aid phrase. You have to read past the headline, and down into the 3rd paragraph to see the word…. well, the S word. Another story blurb I saw called it assisting the ferry.

Stay tuned for the ruling:

Judge Edward Korman torpedoed the tug’s bid for compensation for the four days – but ruled it’s entitled to a salvage award for about 35 minutes of work right after the deadly accident.

The amount of the award will be decided by Korman during a bench trial.
