Ship barely makes it under bridge

Just to give people a low down on this video.
This ship passed under the Storebelts bridge this one time only. It had to be constructed with retractable chimneys, in order for it to fit under here. Further more, the ship went full throttle, because a "suction" effect is created when a ship sails at its maximum speed. It was low tide, giving extra space. 1ft might be a bit exaggerated but it was a very tight squeeze!

Thats Storebælts bridge in denmark

That is Copenhagen

I guess the crew knows how close the clearance is...so they tell all the passengers to get on deck to witness this...sort of one of the "activities" on the cruise.

You can stick a ruler under that.

I like the horn.

If they are bigger they can always go thru Öresund.

bridge is tooo higher height than this ship

The "Great Belt bridge" in Denmarks actually constraints the size of the ships going into the Baltic Sea. So the biggest cruiseships barely make it through.
how was this close? The ship made it through easily...

Well, during high tides the ship can't make it under the bridge. The captain said we were clearing the bridge by a foot and from the top deck that's what it looked like.
