GAME: SHIP DESTROYS BRIDGE

[Mafioso]

Thanks to the poor ship DALI (IMO 9697428)

MV Dali is a 91,128 gross tonnage container ship, completed in 2015 by Hyundai Heavy Industries, South Korea, for Oceanbulk Container Management of Greece.



In 2016, the vessel was sold to Grace Ocean Pte Ltd. to be managed and operated by Synergy Marine Group, Singapore, where it was also registered.



On March 26, 2024, the ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, causing catastrophic structural failure of the bridge resulting in at least 6 fatalities.

Many ships destroyed bridges

This game consists of naming ships that destroyed bridges.

The DALI (IMO 9697428) that one is already

Here you name the ship, the bridge it destroyed.

To search I think there must be many

HISTORY:

Morgenstond III fue construido en 2000 con el número de astillero 325 por Ferus Smit BV, Westerbroek, Groningen, Países Bajos. Puesto en grada el 29 de junio de 1998, fue botado el 18 de noviembre de 2000 y terminado el 14 de diciembre de 2000.

Morgenstond III was sold in 2005 to Emsmoon NTH Schiffahrts, Papenburg-Ems, Germany and was renamed Emsmoon.

She was placed under the management of Marlow Ship Management, Hamburg, Germany.
 
This was later changed to Grona Shipping GmbH & Co.KG., Leer, Germany.

On 3 December 2015, Emsmoon collided with the Friesenbrücke, which carries the Ihrhove–Nieuweschans railway over the Ems.


 
The cause of the accident was reported to be miscommunication between the bridge operator and pilot on board the ship.



The bridge could not be raised as a train was due, but the ship failed to stop and collided with the bridge, blocking both railway and river.



The bridge was so severely damaged that it will have to be demolished.

Emsmoon was pulled from the wreckage of the bridge by the tug Gerd Bliede and taken to Papenburg.
Afterwards, the bridge was demolished in 2021/22.

Opening of the new bridge is planned for 2024.

And the cargo ship was repaired continued its work in 2019 was sold to H.Lohmann Schiffahrts GmbH & Co KG ms and this named it HELAS.

IN 2020 H.Lohmann Schiffahrts GmbH & Co KG ms names the cargo ship as SANDOE, flagged CYPRUS.

In 2021 H.Lohmann Schiffahrts GmbH & Co KG ms appoints the cargo ship HELAS , flagged CYPRUS.

In the midst of a fierce naval battle, the tension in the air was palpable as two rival fleets clashed on the open sea. On one side stood the mighty battleship, its massive cannons roaring with each volley of gunfire. On the other side, a strategic bridge served as a crucial lifeline for the opposing forces, allowing reinforcements to reach the front lines.

As the battle raged on, the battleship's captain spotted an opportunity to turn the tide in their favor. With precision and determination, they maneuvered their vessel closer to the bridge, closing in on their target with relentless determination.

The Second Narrows Rail Bridge in Vancouver, British Columbia has quite the history of ship collisions. While there have been many other minor incidents, the following three collisions managed to knock down at least one span of the bridge:

24 April 1930: Carried by a strong tide, the freighter LOSMAR (US Official Number 219284) made contact with the bridge, knocking the southern span into the water.

13 September 1930: The former tall ship-turned-barge PACIFIC GATHERER (Canada Official Number 156616) broke tow and became wedged under the center span of the bridge. The rising tide then lifted the barge, raising the span from its foundation and allowing it to fall into the water.

12 October 1979: The freighter JAPAN ERICA (IMO 7112735) lost course in heavy fog and collided with the bridge, knocking the span north of the lift section into the water.

Sorry guys it bothers me every time I see this topic passing by.
I think the name of this topic is quite inappropriate.
Hitting a bridge with a ship is not a game (for that matter hitting anything with a commercial ship is not a game)!
Those were all catastrophic accidents with loss of life.
I do understand you want to gather all the accidents when this happened in the past, but maybe (at least) renaming this topic into Quiz (instead of game) would be a little bit more appropriate, also for all the people who lost their life.

Well yeah, maybe it's just me.

Cheers,
Roy

Friend @MO Roy Sorry to this topic I made it and I apologize if you think the name of the topic is inappropriate.

I put Game because I am talking about a translator, my idea was to say ships that destroyed bridges.

And it was to say the ship and the bridge it destroyed was just that.

But here there is a topic called Wrecks & Relics and most of them are sunken ships, and those did take many lives.

Another one is called Casualties and there a lot of people put burned ships where many lives were lost and nobody says anything.

So I think you have to see before you speak I am new to the forum, but I see I read and I love to learn.

But if there is someone else who says that it seems inappropriate, I will change the name to the one they tell me and that's it.

[Mafioso]

@MO Roy It is a forum my friend and a ship forum and here one tries to make it more entertaining and that is why one creates new topics so there is conversation.

The topics are created as unknown sunken ship, or in all sunken ships no one dies.

But if you look at my posts you will see that I never talk about deaths, the focus is always on the history of the ship.
