Passenger ship stuck under bridge in Hamburg
In the evening of June 19, 2014, the "Gabi Glitscher" got stuck under the sixth of the landing bridges in Hamburg. The ship was underway to its dock at 10 p.m. during high tide when its roof got entangled in the bridge construction during a turning manoever. The master had misjudged the space. Police and fire brigade attended, but did not have to intervene as the ship got free once the Tide receded around midnight. The bridge was closed during this time. The damaged roof will possibly have to be exchanged.
