'Drunk' Russian ship captain steers giant cargo vessel straight into busy South Korean bridge
UK Daily Mail ^ | February 28, 2019 | Miranda Aldersley

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.

btw,, That is one cool bridge to traverse.

How much, and how long does it take to traverse.

On a family vacation, we took the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, North, one time.

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?

6000 tons is not “giant” for a merchant ship.
Its quite small actually. As the photos show.

Another 'gem' from the mainstream media...

I’ve met truck drivers that have this mentality.

It’s elevated for a bit over land before it goes over water in slow curves..

It’s all fun and games until someone hits a bridge.
