Freak accident? No; gross incompetence.

反常的事故？这是无能。

@ohmybrowncow just like I'm America daily chemical plants fires, train derailment, doors falling of planes, Hawaii fires, subway trains colliding, helicopters falling from skies and building and crames collapsing in New york. Right?

就像我们美国的化工厂火灾，火车脱轨，飞机舱门坠落，夏威夷火灾，地铁相撞，直升机从空中坠落，纽约的建筑和峭壁坍塌。对吧？

First, how fast the ship was travelling ?

Second, how small the bridge until that rendered people only noticed it when it was in collision distance ?

首先，这艘船当时行驶的速度有多快？

第二，这座桥有多小，快撞上了才注意到吗？

The captain of the ship set the viewrange too low

船长把视野调得太低了

This is unacceptable. The captain of the ship should be held responsible

There are hundreds of ships every day so it's bound to have an idixts given enough time .... I remember when I worked at the US, there's a famous bridge crossing over another road that only allowed vehicles under 11 foot 8 inches to pass below it ... Almost every year there's an idixt driver forgot that and drove a huge truck too tall to that notorious spot and crashed at the low clearance bridge ...

每天有数百艘船通过，事故是难免的。我记得我在美国工作时，有一座著名的桥横跨另一条道路，限高11英尺8英寸。几乎每年都有一个司机疏忽了，开着一辆超过限高的大卡车通过，然后撞上桥。

How fast was the ship moving? Or are the bridge's tofu-dreg quality pillars to blame?

船当时开得有多快？还是说该怪大桥是豆腐渣

人为失误，结构应该改。

Meanwhile bridge in India collapsed twice in a year without collision nor in use yet.

印度的一座桥梁没有投入使用，就在一年内两次倒塌，既没有发生碰撞，也没有投入使用。

captain was asleep?

船长当时睡着了？

harigovindkr7569

What led to the crash? Is it caused by the negligence of the crew or some other reason?

是什么导致了这次事故？是船员的疏忽还是其他原因造成的？

johu492

Perhaps the rudder got jammed. If the ship was trying to go under the bridge, it wouldn't be angled that way.

也许方向舵卡住了。如果这艘船想从桥下经过，它就不会朝那个方向倾斜。

pjacobsen1000

The captain and crew were in the middle of a game of bridge.

船长和船员可能当时正在玩桥牌游戏。
