Enormous Yacht Takes Out Bridge Operator's Shack As Crowd Of Onlookers Runs For Cover

On this episode of "Nightmares You Didn't Know You Had":

A superyacht in St. Maarten took down an operator's shack as it attempted to dock at Simpson Bay Lagoon.


The incident was captured on video, along with shots of several onlookers watching it happen and commenting.

The yacht, owned by Pakistani billionaire Alshair Fiyaz, was met with a combination of high winds and strong currents that took the yacht out of the operator's control.

An escape hatch on the starboard of the ship was open, which ultimately crashed into and crumpled the structure.





Thankfully the operator was able to escape the shack and make it to safety.

Simpson Bay Bridge is still operational, as the controls themselves were not destroyed, though the booth is plenty the worse for wear.





There is no update on the captain of the yacht, called the Ecstasea,

The yacht itself was commissioned by Russian-Israeli businessman Roman Abramovich and is composed of solid steel and boasts seven passenger cabins, 12 crew cabins, a cinema, sauna, weight room, multiple bars and a helicopter landing pad.





Thankfully, this time, nobody was hurt—so we can all take this as a warning to be more careful driving our superyachts.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
