    Super yacht News Ep316 - above link doesn't work,
    but its a way better video that shows this in much greater detail.

    Try youtube lookup using only "Super yacht News Ep316" (IDK?)

    Shows yacht was too high to fit under w/antennas, and they reversed engines to back out.
    Instead of keep going in reverse until way past and greatly clear of bridge,
    they tried to maneuver around too soon, turning 90 deg. to channel, and halfway thru turn,
    and either lost power or steering, and drifted back into bridge sideways.

    IMHO, just a bonehead (maybe inexperienced) driver.
    I would think at a minimum you would know the flow rate of the water here?

    Yeah at the 2 minute mark in the video there's a small boat with engineers in it who had a diver in the water inspecting the piers and a big yacht ignoring the diving flag they had waving and the no wake signs everywhere goes barreling thru there at high speed. No respect for other people's lives. Just like all these stupid ####s out here in cars driving wreckless everyday.

    No dude, it was a full on container ship.
    Had 3 tugs pulling him out, had to get 3 more to stop him from hitting the bridge.

    see the hit here -
    I just threw that in there as both vehicles appear to have lost power or steering.

    Attention all idiots. 102” wide trailers are not... I repeat NOT.... allowed in the Harbor Tunnel.

    Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (I-895) | MDTA

    I’m seeing a disturbing amount of Cascadia life who can’t seem to comprehend the meaning of this sign.

    BREAKING26 Barges Break Loose on Ohio River! Damaged Bridges and a Dam on the Ohio River near Pittsburgh, PA. In a dramatic turn of events late Friday night, 26 barges broke loose on the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, causing significant damage to a marina and prompting the temporary closure of two nearby bridges - the West End and McKees Rocks bridges. The barges, carrying dried cargo including coal, were eventually pinned to the riverbank or went over a dam downstream. Despite the chaos, there were no reports of injuries. The incident led to the closure of two Pittsburgh-area bridges about 2.5 miles apart, highlighting the potential dangers of such events.
