Russian tanker loses fight with Korean bridge

Thursday February 28, 2019. 03:14 PM , from BoingBoing
What happens when a stoppable force hits an immovable object? The stoppable force stops. The Korea Herald reports:
The Korea Coast Guard (KCG) said the 5,998-ton Seagrand sailed into the side of the Gwangan Bridge at around 4:20 p.m. before turning back to head in the opposite direction.... The KCG nabbed the vessel and questioned the crew aboard. It said the ship's Russian captain, whose identity is being withheld, had a blood alcohol content of 0.086 percent. The legal limit is 0.03 percent.
I feel there must be more to the story, as 0.08 isn't very drunkā€”it's the legal limit for driving in most U.S. states and basically the tare weight of a merchant sailor.
You may recognize the bridge, in Busan, from Black Panther.
