A Russian cargo ship crashed into a bi-level bridge on the coast of South Korea while its captain was drunk, authorities said Thursday.
No injuries were caused during the bizarre crash, but sections of the Gwangan Bridge in Busan were closed for precautionary purposes. It's not illegal to consume alcohol while aboard a ship, but it is illegal to sail a ship while intoxicated.

“Hold my vodka and watch this sh!T!”
What shall we do with the drunk Russian sailor, earl-eye in the morning?
I’m just trying to find the bridge
Has anybody seen the bridge?
Please
Have you seen the bridge?
I ain’t seen the bridge!
Where’s that confounded bridge?
In Russia, the bridge crosses you.
Who crashed it, a sailor or the captain?
Isn’t ‘drunk Russian’ redundant?
” Missed it by that much, Chief. “
Ooopski
Vodka’s a helluva drink.
You beat me to it!

Put him in the guardroom till he gets sober.
Earl-eye in the morning.
Then somehow connect him to Trump.
Earl-eye in the morning.
Weigh hey and up she rises...
Anybody can misjudge bridge height. Or, forget to look, LOL.
Once again, I’m reminded that there is ‘drunk’ as most westerners would define it, and then, there is “Russian Drunk”.
Completely different scales...
Russians are lightweights.
Now, Poles on the other hand, never get in a drinking contest with a Pole, you will lose.

It’s true, Poland isn’t what they used to be in that department, they’ve pretty much switched to beer there instead of wódka.
You wouldn’t want it on your front lawn but I’m not sure 6,000 tons equates to “massive” when it comes to ships?
