LMFAO well if you're gonna do it, might as well do it in style!

It was probably high enough when he started towards it - I'd guess that the bridge minder lowered it too soon, and ships like that aren't
fitted with ABS either!

Well it's a lifting bridge that was up when he started going through and down when the high bits needed to go through!

Judging by the way the bridge of the ship hit the deck of the bridge, he may not have been around to explain it!

I reckon he was well away from the ship's bridge by the time of the impact!
I know I'd have been running hard in the opposite direction...

Was the bridge operator's fault according to the Investigation Report: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welland_Canal#2001_accident

The Marine Investigation Report concluded, "it is likely that the [vertical lift bridge] operator's performance was impaired while the
bridge span was lowered onto the Windoc."[1]
