DAVIDH Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Snowy, be my guest but clearly it isn't today as the Pilot would not have gone home by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ExMemberKingFisher Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Think it could be a shade over four years too late to report it now. Although not sure that highlighting anything that may encourage other idiots to try the same is a good idea either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing he thought it interesting? There's plenty of older stuff that gets posted on here? not condoning their actions, but at least they seemed to go through really slowly and had spotters on the sides and stern. If your going to break the rules, at least do it sensibly and he didn't try and go backwards!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that if you went through without a pilot and did damage, you would not be insured for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 If that video dissuades just one crew from taking an unnecessary risk in going under a difficult bridge then so be it. However, it is a sad fact of life that many of us, me included, often view the mistakes of others as valid entertainment but in this case there is a serious message, that there is a mandatory pilot there for good reason.

Strange how old videos suddenly start doing the rounds again. With the amount of video cameras around, someday all our actions will come back to haunt us again.

Guest Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 As first time view; it was probably just as amusing today as it was to those who first viewed it four years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
