"We're out of burgers!" Stranded Passengers, Drunk Onlookers and a Scrambling News Team

BTS with CTV News Vancouver

Underwater inspectors probed a waylaid BC Ferries vessel as two Coast Guard crews and a pair of heavy-duty tugboats waited for word it'd be safe to try and manoeuvre up and off a section of a ferry terminal -- as more than 200 passengers waited hours on board the Queen of Surrey, running out of food and patience.
BTS with CTV Vancouver host Penny Daflos was the reporter dispatched to the scene with veteran videographer Pete Cline, and their first challenge was how to get to a serious maritime mishap with the ferry terminal closed and the extent of the damage uncertain. This is a tale of helicopters, frustrated passengers and weary travellers -- plus the drunk guy who got himself on TV despite Pete's best efforts.
