Nope, everybody survived. The captain got out and a crewman ducked down just in time.

It was the fault of guy who was controling the bridge. It started to come down as the ship (Windoc) was about to pass under it.

No, no one was killed.

I really feel sorry for the guy though.


As revealed by the recorded communication, in the period surrounding the accident, the operator's confusion, slurred speech, impaired memory, and lack of appreciation for the seriousness of the event are consistent with substance and/or alcohol intoxication. Comments made by TCC controllers following their conversation with the bridge operator indicate that they may have entertained this possibility. Therefore, it is likely that the operator's performance was impaired while the bridge span was lowered onto the Windoc.

I'm glad no one was hurt, and I feel sorry for the crew of the Windoc. The operator? Not so much.
