The bridge can clearly be seen lowering in the seconds before impact, so I'm not sure the skipper is at fault (or entirely at fault). Pete C. |

That appears to be what happened, so I take back my question about whether the captain was a bit soused. Maybe it was the bridge operator who was "two sheets to the wind". Apparently either human error or a mechanical/electrical failure caused the bridge to lower while the boat was passing under it. http://tinyurl.com/mwp3z Jeff -- Jeffry Wisnia (W1BSV + Brass Rat '57 EE) "Truth exists; only falsehood has to be invented." |

(!) Most of the excitement wasn't shown. Anyone killed or hurt? I know the links to the newspaper stories were posted, but I didn't go there. Anyone care to put this in a nutshell or repost links?
