Drawbridge in Miami (Fla.) Damages Megayacht in the Intracoastal

on December 11, 2014December 15, 2014 By Florida's Big Dig

http://youtu.be/gLvOyfDCmlQ A double-bascule drawbridge closed down on a mega-yacht cruising down the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, causing extensive damage to the flybridge. Slated for the Miami Boat Show, the vessel sustained so much damage it is unlikely the yacht will appear for the show, which annually draws thousands to the international event.
