Hey, that first tombstone has a Daewoo on it, not a Merc. Almost polar opposites on the automotive spectrum!
I saw a program on the ship crash the other night (Shockwave: History Channel). The on site bridge operator was intoxicated and working alone. He thought the ship had passed and began lowering the bridge.
There were no deaths in the accident. The helmsman dropped to the floor as they hit the bridge and the wheelhouse was sheared off inches above the floor, leaving him untouched. The ship, of course, was destroyed and its hull has been cut down to make a barge.
Bridges in the area are now controlled remotely from a central location with closed circuit cameras to verify that traffic is clear.
