A Russian cargo ship captain may have been slightly drunk when he veered off course and crashed into a busy South Korean bridge this afternoon.
The 6,000 ton Seagrand collided with the side of the Gwangan Bridge in Busan, in the southeast of the country, at around 4.20pm local time.
The ship then attempted to turn and vacate the area before it was detained by the Korea Coast Guard (KCG).

Russian version is that a drunken Korean bridge rammed into one of its ships.
How much, and how long does it take to traverse.

Here's your quick HTML lesson for the day:
To display a picture, type: <img src="url of image">
So to embed your particular picture, type:
<img src="https://i.redd.it/bygvjo0k8aj21.jpg">
Which gives you:
If you want to make the image bigger, or smaller, you can add width="xxx" after the URL, where xxx is the desired width in pixels, or you can type "xx%", where xx% is the percentage of the open browser window.
So for a 600 pixel image, you'd type:
<img src="https://i.redd.it/bygvjo0k8aj21.jpg" width="600">
And you get:
For 50% of the screen width, type:
<img src="https://i.redd.it/bygvjo0k8aj21.jpg" width="50%">
And you get:
Clear as mud?
“What do you mean it’s not a drawbridge?”
“What do you do with a drunken sailor?.....................”
Pass him off as a US Congresscritter naturally....

Another 'gem' from the mainstream media...
“It’ll move out of my way!”
I’ve met truck drivers that have this mentality.
All Russians are drunks.
