What happened to this Tugboat is humorous

#shorts #ship #funnymoments #fails #fact #disaster #shipsinking #sinking
In October 2021, the Brazilian Navy tall ship Cisne Branco collided with a bridge over the Guayas River in Ecuador. Unfortunately, a tugboat proved to be unhelpful when attempting to assist the tall ship, leading to its eventual capsizing. Fortunately, the crew of the tugboat managed to save themselves, and the situation took a humorous turn.

Bro you need to fire whoever did this voiceover and whoever wrote the script

If that's their navy ship their in big trouble.

[kapenakaipokapaa]

That is a beautiful barque military vessel. I hope not too damage was done to this historic ship. Strong current is an under statement, those waters look to be moving at around 6 knots.

[mountainman]

Not sure what's funny about surviving a terrifying event like capsizing. And I imagine that navy ship is a legacy ship like our U.S.S Constitution.

[dkpqzm]

There is no such thing as comedy of survival

[williewonka]

Thats one hell of a current. Timing is everything.

[daniaa.oliva-pena]

This is so sad ! That ship is beautiful.

[simpledjchromo]

Too much current and not enough tug boat. That’s a shame to damage such a beautiful sailing vessel.

That bridge is a pedestrian bridge between Guayaquil and Santay island. The river in that spot is tidal and has quite nasty currents especially when the tide is going out. When I walked over it last year i would have guessed the current at about 10-12 knots.

When a lot of 🤦🏻‍♂️ people dont realize an old navy ship is still a navy ship, many times used for cadets training and not obviously as a warship.

Came to the comment section to make sure people tore apart the Narrator. Well done people.

[tcfirewatch]

They have a weird sense of comedy down there

[johnnycrash]

AND The big Navy Ship said to the little TUG
" You gave up on me and I crashed"
"And now I will sink you"

[MrNside]

Man that was the funniest thing I've seen all day. The way those guys came so close to death. Hilarious indeed.

[Luiz.Andrade]

Aqui!! Sou o "Brazilian comment you were looking for"!! 😂🇧🇷

[cheallaigh]

the tug didn't capsize, it turtled, capsizing is when it only goes on its side. it's a shame neither boat could disconnect the line, but it was probably already dangerously tight when they realized the issue. that tall ship is gorgeous!

1. At least 2 dozen navies around the world use sail training ships. It's not weird.
2. The pilot messed up. The tug first used was too small for the ships tonnage.

[chrisortiz]

That's the same ship that colonized them they haven't been able to upgrade since? Damn its rough out there

[ChristopherMohan-bdck]

My boat is still under the ocean. Sometimes I visit to have a cup of tea Upside down The dolphins are complaining. I don't use Yorkshire tea..

This vessel lost her propulsion engine as she approached the drawbridge. She was basically adrift in the river. Sorry, but I fail to see any humor in the damaging and near sinking of such an iconic vessel, not to mention the capsizing of a tug boat that is needed for the daily operations of the port. Not to mention the near drowning of its crew.
