This may look worse than it is

Divers haven't yet found any victims as they search the water around a grounded B.C. ferry, after it missed the West Vancouver terminal and plowed into as many as 20 pleasure craft.

It's not known whether anyone was aboard the smaller boats docked near the Horseshoe Bay terminal when the 7,000-tonne ferry lost power and smashed through at about 10:10 a.m. local time.

Witnesses said the ferry was blowing its horn as it crashed into Sewell's Marina, crushing 15 or 20 vessels.

Thankfully, no injuries had been reported by 1:30 p.m.
