Looks like a restored sail ship for tourists.

what did the captain not know the clearance of the bridge or the height of his masts?

[BenLurkin]

Beautiful ship. Her captain’s career may have just took a turn for the worse.

It’s not immediately obvious, from the video, why people went overboard. The ship remained upright through the entire collision and there were no people going overboard that I could see in the video.

How TF was THAT allowed to happen?

[ifinnegan]

Search and rescue for what?

I saw the video. It didn’t look like anyone jumped in the water.

Moron skipper went under the bridge but it’s mast was too tall and got crunched. That’s all.

Fortunately the Brooklyn Bridge was made to last.

Possibly messed up the conversion between meters and feet....

[ridesthemiles]

Like the videos of the trucks that DO NOT read the “CLEARANCE HEIGHT” signs on highways & shear the top off their trucks??

[Deaf Smith]

Ship was floating stern first…did it break from it’s moorings and the tug was chasing it?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Should have brought their low rider ship.

"Jefe, I THINK we'll be able to get under the bridge. At least I'm pretty sure we can make it."

"¡Ay, caramba!"

[DAC21]

Was it under tow? It was going backwards. Trump Admin to be blaimed in 3..2..1.

Dang, I just bought that bridge from a very nice man in a trench coat yesterday. Paid a lot of money...but thought it was worth it.

“It’s not immediately obvious, from the video, why people went overboard. The ship remained upright through the entire collision and there were no people going overboard that I could see in the video.”

Apparently there are people up on the masts falling into the river.

I saw another angle that was closer and there were people high up in the rigging. It looked like a couple of them fell into the water.
