This one looks like a sabotage. It looks like they redirected the ship to hit the column. Could the ship be highjacked for executing such purpose?

Emusan:


No! The wave can take the control of the ship away from the captain.

You meant to say current and not wave.

you don't "pilot" ship rather you "sail" Ship.

Leave am, he don lose him ball already

humberjade:
Hmm...I will be surprised if there aren't at least 5 or more casualties from that collapse. Thank God it didn't happen during the rush hour, otherwise, the numbers would def top 100 in that case. Those driving on the bridge had almost zero reaction time, the bridge broke into pieces and fell straight into the river on impact. Except your car door windows are already down, escaping from a drowning car with electric windows is an uphill task.

According to yahoo.com, they are still searching for seven people who are in the river.

Pathokpo:
It's not the fact that the bridge collapsed that is the problem. It's the swiftness of the reaction to the accident that lies the problem. Accidents are bent to happen but, it is the mechanism put in place too minimize the effect of such accidents that's important. If it were to be in a country in Africa it would have been a case of OYO for the next 24 hours after the required agency had waited for files to be submitted to the oga at the top.

it doesn't happen in lagos

They should investigate very well I am sure it will turn out that, the sailor might be one of those Mohamed followers who are bent on making the world hell for everyone including their own people all in the name of fighting to defend Allah

NuclearWinter:
I can bet my left ball that that ship was being piloted by a woman.

lmao. i cannot agree less.

Iamicekid:
U do better In the reconstruction the height between the bridge and the ocean/river must be x2 of the previous one

Hit a column, got nothing to do with the height.

Add your right ball before I place my bet.
The stakes are not high enough.

The construction of the bridge does not look like full concrete bridge,

observing from flexibility of its collapsed, it seems that bridge constructed

with much of unsophisticated materials. there's no where on earth, one

can not find imperfection on things made by human beings.

Private ship

The captain didn't check his clearances well?

Idiot. The entire thing will be remedied in a maximum of 2 months. If it were to be your Tinubulation piloted Nigeria, 20 years and you still on it. Yet, America is your problem.

Stop posting rubbish. That's totally incorrect.
First not everything is on time in the US and not everything is not on time in Africa and Nigeria.
There have been accidents in Nigeria where there have been prompt responses.

Mr I Too Know, it's Wave and not current.

Emusan:


Mr I Too Know, it's Wave and not current.

Current is what ships battle with when being piloted into or out of a harbor.

Wow, thank God no vehicle was on the bridge at the moment.

Watching the video over and over again. Something is not right. Why aim at the bridge support? could it be that the ship was hijacked by terrorist

I watched with so much fear that a car wil be moving on the bridge at the time of collision but thank goodness none was on the bridge at the time it collapsed.

God is great.

Iamicekid:

Did you watch the video? The ship for whatever reason left where it was supposed to pass through and rammed into the column supporting the bridge distorting it's balance and stability and everything came crashing down.

Sijo01:

There's something that I noticed, but not many people are talking about it. If you watch the video again, you'll see that the lights on the ship went off sometime before it hit the bridge and then later, just before it hit, a few of the lights came back on.

It could be that the ship had a mechanical problem that made it impossible to steer it away from the pillar.

Insurance go cover am but this has big time loss.


Insurance go explain tire that they don't cover bridge damage.

Insurance here is a scam.

Try to borrow or buy some sense. They are on sale now in Lagos.

In SANER CLIMES this can't be possible. hahaha

I agree

I would bet that the woman was under the influence of orgasm since she was on duty she couldn't have that leisure time to do the needful her memory and consciousness lost ..

Some people here are just in niraland to comment rubbish... they don't have d facility or cash or their host countries are very poor

Idiot online:

"I can't complain about my neighbor's rickety old noisy car because i don't have one. I'm not therefore entitled to any opinions about cars until i buy one"

You people make some very stupid comments

What's a ship doing on a river?
