  1. I am not expert by any means, 45 mins you were already losing power and steering but they kept going knowing you’ll go under the Bridge? Something isn’t right with this story.

  2. Hello There. Wonderful story. We learned by watching it that having a visual representation is a powerful way of educating the public on the perspective of the crew. Now imagine how more powerful that simulation could be if it included audio (ambient noises) to engage another sense (ears). Also, lessons from aroma therapy, helping engage another sense, we suspect would enhance the eXperiencE. Love this perspective so much. Gave us many ideas. 😇🥰

  3. of course their family's gonna be set but if it were a natural born us construction workers family they would tell them your SOL. they are already kicking born citizens out of their own homes.

  4. I just need to share my oppinion here, The Abutment of Bridge better design like ship that have both ends are tapered (top view) , so when big ship lost controll hit the abutment first not direct hit the colum beam of bridge, so better make separate abutment arround center abutment to protect , like earth protected from commet i think..we hope big ship will stop or broken down when hit protection abutment first, before hit the center of bridge column. so the main abutment & bridge column keep safe.

  5. Memang harus nya pandu jangan stop enggine, tapi pertahankan speed dan curi2 ambil kiri…krn dengan stop.enggine membuat haluan kapal semakin mengarah ke tiang penyangga jembatan

  6. Wow! Didn’t know they had power go out. Thanks for this simulation. Now does that bridge go up? Or turn? Or is it high enough for ships to go under? It doesn’t look tall enough.
