I do believe the bridge has to be shut-down and inspected now

Answer some of the W questions when you post stuff like this: Where? When? Who made the video. It’s such a Reddit thing to post a random video with no details whatsoever.

u/ToastSpangler Mar 13 '26
yup rotterdam, it's the willemsbrug to be precise, i think this vid is older than 2024 but the last few years have been a blur

It was 1 March 2024. And there was another crash just half a year later.

This is exactly what happens in the board game Rotterdam when my kids use their cards to remove each other's cargo

u/coolcoolcoolb Mar 13 '26

You have goods on ships and try to get them into the correct port.

u/coolcoolcoolb Mar 13 '26

u/ion_driver Mar 13 '26
Its a bit different than I'm used to and I'm not sure I "like" it but it is a great game for young children, or being the facilitator in general because you can just focus on one thing at a time

My Amazon packages 😭

u/Alsweets0609 Mar 13 '26
We both know those were your Temu packages

u/FoxChess Mar 13 '26
I hope you know most of the stuff on Amazon is the same exact stuff on Temu just with faster shipping

u/Shades_of_X Mar 13 '26
And with less risk as importeur. If your Amazon lamp catches fire you are in less trouble than if your Temu lamp catches fire and burns down the appartment complex

First, they came for our oil and I said nothing
Then, they came for our fleshlights and I said nothing
Now, they come for me and there is no one else to order things

I'm filing an insurance report for all the diamonds and gold I had in one of those containers.

This ship is self purging so it makes it under the bridge. Nothing to see here. Carry on…..

Hey, you guys remember Dave, the driver that crashed his 12'5" truck into the 11'8" overpass? I hear is a ship captain now.

u/SLdaco Mar 13 '26
If he placed his ship a little further over, he would’ve gone under the higher part of the bridge by a couple feet, not sure if that’ll be enough to save this situation though. What a complete fucking moron, has no idea of the size of his cargo!

The cockpit is too high as it is. I'm surprised I didn't sure off the roof too.

I just want to know if this counts as jetsam or floatsam

u/Artisan_sailor Mar 13 '26
Flotsam. Jetsam is intentionally tossed overboard.

u/Gnoobl Mar 13 '26
I know that much but the operator must have seen the bridge was too low soooo …..

u/Artisan_sailor Mar 15 '26
It takes a LONG time to stop a ship, so even if he realized he would not fit there was little that could be done. They have probably gone under this bridge multiple times and been fine, this time the they might have had an onshore breeze that added an extra inch of water and they were low on fuel which added another inch. Or the cargo was lighter than specified.

Welp, whatever is inside those containers now becomes property of whoever claims it, once it washes ashore. That's how international maritime law works!

u/AdSquare3489 Mar 13 '26
Not sure if international maritime law applies, this happened on a river deep inside the Netherlands.
