All of it, bloody hell! I suppose it's quite fortunate that it was the middle of the night. Although, I guess a ship wouldn't have crashed into it during the day. Dunno. 26-03-2024, 07:39 AM (This post was last modified: 26-03-2024, 07:53 AM by Kev-YCFC.) in response to #38570 Loading... F*cking hell was my first reaction. 'At least' it wasn't rush hour but how did a ship hit it as there'll be lit navigation buoys marking the shipping channel, green for starboard, red for port if you're facing them, it looks very nasty. https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9697428 is the ship. 26-03-2024, 07:58 AM in response to #38569

Back in 2000 a Greek ferry sank with the loss of eighty plus lives after crashing into some rocks because the crew were watching football.

I think I see the impact splash where the hull hits the concrete pier but the ships deck will have taken the steel work out on top, intuition says a suspension bridge would have failed the same way but I don't know. 26-03-2024, 08:11 AM in response to #38569
Got to wonder if that’s deliberate, but I guess you would do it when it was busier.

Latest news saying it is a Singaporean flagged ship heading to Colombo, Sri Lanka.
