trying to find video clip of coaster running into prom

[shmoo]

Last year there was a posted somewhere a cctv video clip of a small coaster running into a prom - and carrying on steaming at full pelt for some while longer. I can't find it now - does anyone know where there is a link to this clip?

Regards
Peter

I think it was on Boreme.com but I can't find it there now. It was called mars159 (marine accident report). I have a download of the file (5.19mb) so I can email it to you if you pm me an email address

I am just cautioning, that if anybody down loads anything from the web, be careful /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

What always amazed me about this clip was the length of time that the propellers continued to turn after the vessel struck. Although the text says the bridge was manned it always seemed to me that the officer in charge must have been some distance away from any communications source.

Re engine running, that's what I thought at first, but it's since occurred to me that it was perhaps good seamanship (at last!), to keep her on the bricks, rather than sliding off and maybe sinking by the bow if she was holed.

It would be reassuring to think you were right. At no time did I see any person appear to assess any damage, so there seems to be little reason to take the foot off the gas, unless because they finally woke up.

Thanks to everyone who responded. That will liven up an otherwise dull talk on safety (non-marine, so don't worry!)
