This happened on the Welland ship canal a few years ago. Apparently the
bridge tender was drinking with some friends and someone pushed the wrong
button.

Probably not the captain's fault. If you look carefully, the bridge
is coming down at the beginning of the clip, then starts back up after
the collision. That bridge should not be coming down before the
vessel is clear.
