Global BC reported a few minutes ago about an unusual occurrence at Langdale. Cougar sightings in general are not uncommon at these times of year, but what was caught on tape at Langdale today sure was. The video showed the lower holding area at Langdale and it showed a cougar running up the holding area. I can't find a video of this right now, but it sure was funny to see. Hopefully GlobalBC has this up later.

I was watching global news last night and I can't believe I somehow missed it.
Video would be awesome - Do you recall at what time during the newscast it was shown? Or was it on the early news at 1700?

Wow - If they can't even keep a cat out of the terminal how are they going to keep Al Qaeda out?

Well if we really wanted to, we could get in that easy too. For Tsawwassen, just pull up a speedboat on that rocky 'beach', walk around the fence, and tada!
At Horseshoe Bay, walk through a gate.
At Little River, walk through that gap in the fence.
At Swartz Bay...?
At Departure Bay...?
At most of the minor terminals, they don't even have security.
Al Qaeda could get in, no problemo.
Try and let a cougar onto one of the ferries though. It wouldn't get through there. Nor would we. Al Qaeda, though? Lemme think about that one.

Perhaps an enterprising moderator could change the name of this thread to:
"Fast Cat Spotted at Langdale Terminal"...
I owe this suggestion to Mr. DOT who suggested such in a PM to me...

If there's one mod who'd actually do it, it's Mr. Horn!  |

Wow, those cats sure run fast! Has anything like this (or even remotely similar) ever happened before at a terminal?

Let me see if I understand the order for unloading the ferry now: - Large feline mammals.
- Bicycles.
- Motorcycles.
- Cars & Trucks.
Sounds fine to me! Although it seems that they need a sign like "Cougars -- Keep Right" or something. No?  |
