Don't Lower The
Drawbridge After 30 Seconds If Ships Need 60 Seconds To Go Under
First the ship had one bridge,
then two bridges, and then no bridges. 1:45 video
The
large vessel, Windoc, while passing under the Allenburg bridge in
Ontario on August 11, 2001, was given 30 seconds to go under
the drawbridge. But it needs 60 seconds, at least.
Amazingly nobody was hurt, the $6M cargo was fine but the ship was a
total loss.
It's not just cars and trains that need to contend with bridges being
down, apparently.
A single use of an inappropriate word may make this not safe
for work.
