Good question.
They may have went under a higher span of the bridge and possibly lower tide (but tides are small and it was pretty low anyway).

Dude, that's Japanese haha
Gringo has no sense of humor.....
Yeah. Just like that other mess in Minnesota when they rammed that bridge. LOL
Engine failure....yet the engine supplies power for propulsion and the lights.
When I was in the Navy.....every engine failure we ever had was always followed by a blackout of our lights.
Only thing we had was safety lights on batteries.
But for some reason the props were still churning in this "accident".
It's pretty clear they did it on purpose. They were hoping to close the bridge for a few years.

The masts are 158 ft tall
The highest bridge span only 135 ft
And the woke lib media has failed to explain it

Maybe an operating while under extreme impairment error...

It was not in distress with party music blaring and people on the masts
That was not even close nudging under the bridge. You may have seen the top of the mast if you were driving on it.
No shit Sherlock. But that's not the one I was talking about, she doesn't sail except on very, very special occasions.
I was referring to USS Eagle, formerly the Horst Wessel. She is referred to as "America's Tall Ship" and she is regularly under sail as a training ship for the US Coast Guard.
For those who are interested HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar is the oldest warship in the world, but she resides in drydock down near Southampton in the UK.

Well, they are probably waiting for, you know, an investigation as to what went wrong and why.
The only people injured appear to be members of the ship's crew.
Power as in power from its engines to its screw. She has an 1100 hp diesel engine that turns one propeller. That should have been able to power them out of danger it is capable of pushing the ship along at 10 knots.
She is built to the same plan as our tall ship, the USS Eagle, but was built in the 1980s in Spain.
Given the tugboat accompanying the ship and it may not be but looks like it is moving stern first, I think probably a power failure on the ship and the current took it under the bridge? You would think the captain would have dropped anchor though. Maybe it is too deep in that area for the anchor to be effective?
But on first look, I'm saying accident, not deliberate.

They didn't need no stinkin' badges.
The were going backwards at about 5 knots......so there was no power loss.
