This happened in Allanburg, Ontario. I'm told it was in 2001. Operator error. You think?

  • the canal isnt emptied.... i went over it like yesterday

  • So....falling asleep and not paying attention had NOTHING to do with booze or pills that he had taken...LOL.

  • -------His name was Gautier What can I say -------

    Be careful you can be sued for defamation. The guy was not named Gautier.

  • i was there the ship was full of grain so it could have been alot worse

  • Shot from Cariboro and Princess, 20&58, west side of Welland Canal, Ontario, CA.

  • The vessel was a total loss, but there were no reported injuries, and no pollution to the waterway. The Marine Investigation Report concluded "it is likely that the [vertical lift bridge] operator's performance was impaired while the bridge span was lowered onto the Windoc."[1]

  • On August 11, 2001, the bulk carrier Windoc collided with Bridge 11 in Allanburg, Ontario, closing vessel traffic on the Welland Canal for two days. The accident destroyed the ship's wheelhouse and funnel (chimney), ignited a large fire on board, and caused minor damage to the vertical lift bridge. The accident and portions of its aftermath were captured on amateur video (see "Windoc Bridge Accident" in "External links").
