Stumbled across this today and don't recall seeing it here. Talk about pucker factor!

Can't seem to get the link to work so I'll just drop the link...

I've seen that before, and the thought of it haunts me every time I pass through a lift bridge.

ok probably is him as it is near satellite beach.

it is the Tortoise Island Bridge , confirmed with google maps. ok maybe i'm a little bored at work today!

from a website:
"Tortoise Island Bridge is in a residential area, and sees little use except during the weekend. The bridge tender shack is poorly positioned, and the bridge tenders poorly paid and poorly trained. I think they also double as security guards on Tortoise Island.

We have at least once had to nose up to the bridge fenders and put someone ashore to wake up the bridge tender.

This incident happened a couple of weeks ago, and what I heard was that 3 boats went through the bridge. The first guy called for the opening and said "3 boats requesting to go through". Apparently the bridge tender closed the bridge on the last boat. The mast of the boat poked through the bridge ironwork, and when the tender opened the bridge again, it lifted him in the air. I heard through the grapevine that the boat didn't suffer much but a broken headstay. No one was hurt.

But what a picture!! "
