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.

To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.

Take a look at cpRepeater, my NMEA data integrator, repeater, and
logger at http://www.worldwidewiley.com/

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.

You are right - this clip was posted in another newsgroup and someone
responded with this URL which gives the whole story


The Bridge was being lowered to early due to Bridge operator having taken
pain killers and few glasses of wine before shift the accident of the Windoc
at Welland Canal in 2001 can be read he

It was amazing nobody got killed but the ship was a constructive total
loss, the ships crew had no fault in incident.

were you using a Winblows system when viewing the page? Linux? Mac?

ascertain this?

Er, ah, a little popup window from XP Pro...or Norton Internet Security, I
don't remember which, came onscreen and asked me if I wanted to allow the
webpage access to my camera and microphone ports. Come to think of it, it
may have been a message from the Logitech Camera Assistant or driver that
runs all the while on the system, even when the cam isn't plugged in to a
USB port.

IP traffic is tracked by TCPView from sysinternals.com as well as
SysInternals' great Process Explorer, which tracks all the processes
running, even the ones Micro$not doesn't want you to see...(c;

I shoulda stripped off and clicked OK on the popup, grossing out the entire
staff of whatever server the damned thing was to connect to...(c;

That woulda gotten even!....

It was more likely flash itself.
