already two year ago, I did not realize at this time, that this accident happened




The Brazilian-flagged ship Cisne Branco collided this afternoon with a segment of the pedestrian bridge that leads from Guayaquil to Santay Island.In video surveillance cameras of the ECU911 integrated service, the operators of the integrated system confirmed the collision of the Brazilian Navy vessel with part of the structure of the passage. The entity reported that the news was reported around 1:30 p.m.(LT)He indicated that two tugboats that were near the area immediately came. One supported the sailboat and another turned. "I had the crew there, but they got out, some crew members jumped into the water, they were sailors," said the citizen.Several amateur videos circulated on social media about this incident. In the images, another vessel was observed trying to tow the vessel that ended up hitting a section of the bridge while trying to cross the tipping area, which was open.In a statement, minutes later, the Ecuadorian Navy detailed that due to the accident registered with the ship and the tugboat that supported the departure maneuver, the emergency protocols were activated to support with units.Source: https://www.eluniverso.com/
