@@MikeK2100 Thanks for letting us know. 😀 Now cue the conspiracy theorists... depth chargers went off sending M/Y Double Trouble into a bridge, exactly like what happened with Dali a little over a week ago. As Double Trouble hit the bridge several more explosions went off at several different points of the bridge. You can see from the footage how the explosions cut through the hull of the 96 metre long super yacht. Double Trouble being an Israeli owned vessel, funded by the US government, and likely having many Epstein like pedophiles on board, were protected by the police, who then proceeded to chase after everyone who had a camera nearby. The drone operator was shot in the crown jewels after he tried to flee the scene...if you were the drone operator and in hospital, and you have survived subsequent murder attempts, please get in touch.

Surely a charter boat that size comes with a captain and crew. Getting side on to that current while so close to the bridge was always going to end in tears. Why didn't he reverse well away from the bridge be trying to turn? I'm guessing the boat will have a new captain when the repairs are done.

I have never tried to reverse against such a strong current but it looked like they could handle the reversing part good. Then I have the same question as you. With the motor power they have, they could easily have made the turn if they only reversed a little further and then didn't hesitate making the turn.

If you never helmed (drive) a boat you will not understand this, but as soon as you stop making way into the current, it will grab and put you to the beam, even with a small boat (much worse on a yacht of this size). The video does not do it justice, but as he only stops going backwards a second possibly two (possibly delay from the engine controls to change shift from forward to reverse), the current grabs him with impressive force and turns him around in like three four seconds. Could have he done something to save it, yes but accidents do happen for a reason. Thar second or two delay, whether it was in thinking it over or delay from throttle response screws him. As soon as the current grabs him, his faith is done, like a car which lost traction in a curve and ends in a wall. Yes the bow thruster with that current will never do it all IMO...

@@paulweaver4297 Why would they have put out the fenders? At least at first there was no reason to do so since normally they pass right under the bridge. It was the combination of fast moving water and high tide that created the problem. Putting out the fenders on that yacht might have been the right move but I'm sure the captain thought he would just get lined up and pass right under the bridge the second time.

A 55 gallon barrel of bondo might cover those holes up. They made a big deal of inspecting the bridge protector, which beat that yacht like a rented mule with no damage to itself. While they were doing that, another yacht missed the "diver down" flags and made the staff on the diver's boat very angry.

The skippers of these yachts have little to no commercial experience. They typically do a fast track RYA yacht-master course then start skippering and work their way up.

eSysman Super Yatchs, I have extensive training in marine operations, and l ived 20 years in Miami in the area of Bay Harbour Islands, I am certain the spot where this incident happened is the Haulover Beach Bridge, which is located next to my old neighborhood, and which in time is one of the entrances to the Miami Beach Waterways and the Bay of Biscayne. what an accident, it is just that there wasn`t enough clearance from those post fenders, so if you are at the helm and are not sure there is enough room for the boat to pass clear from the fenders, then you rather dont take any risk, and stop engine and think about the possibility of going trough the passage assisted by a small tug or a tow or some other smaller boat, amazing catch by a drone and someone else camera, I hope everything is alright for them by now. bst rgs

So glad he had those big beautiful fenders on the bow and the deckhand didn't try and put them between the boat and the bridge.

He gets better weed than me, not sure that is good.😂 Double Trouble. Well named.

The police boat missed a great opportunity, probably because he was laughing at the 'tricky' maneuvers, but there are plenty of No Wake signs in there. I'm sure a citation would have really made their day.

imho, the captain backed off and was using the rudder to slide the boat across to the left to give himself room for the turn. The rudder just makes the stern go side to side in a backcurrent while the bow weathervanes downstream. He misjudged and let it drift too far while doing that. You can't turn across a current unless you're moving forwards, and that takes you downstream twice as fast. He should have crabbed across with some throttle on in reverse so the boat wouldn't drift downstream. He backed off far enough.

Haulover inlet is not a joke

I've gone thru this cut over a thousand time it doesn't get calmer than this there is a strong current

Ohh I absolutely cried for the owner when I saw that, Ouch that will cost some $$$$😭😭 such a lovely craft as well. My question, is why cant they put big rubber fenders in front of the bridge supports???, to protect the yacht and the bridge?

The vertical support of the bridge is called a 'pier', not a pillar. The structure in the water in the front of the pier is called a 'fender'. Fenders are there to tell vessels which span of the bridge to cross under, to provide protection to the piers against vessel collision, and, ideally, to prevent damage to the vessel if it becomes errant (hence many fenders incorporating softer rubber elements, as are found where ships dock).
