Freighter Destroys US Bridge

[four winds]

It is bow down a little bit. But that is one tough boat.

I was down in the Tampa area back in the late90's was crossing a bridge , on on side was an empty bridge on the other was one under construction...all of a sudden the "empty one" stopped ( it had turned into a fishing pier). Made me wonder if the one they were building was in preparation for the one I was on falling down...I found out later a barge had taken the other out.

I looked at the picture of the freighter, and I think it was a simple misunderstanding. The captain thought the front of his ship was a "bridgedeck". If he didn't have a bridgedeck before, he sure has one now.

" Here, you take the helm. I gotta go for a whizz".

Whizz - BANG!
