A luxury yacht named the Victoria, estimated to be worth at least £1million, tried to negotiate the Richmond Bridge in London on Sunday. It did not go well. The river was about 7 feet higher than normal, and they boat kept crashing into the stone bridge in front of an appreciative crowd of onlookers.
The crew’s misfortune attracted little sympathy from crowds lining the banks.
Lesley-Anne said: “Some people were jeering. People were laughing at him and a guy in a dinghy was filming it all.”
The yacht was able to return home once the water level had dropped. Meanwhile, the incident is enshrined in YouTube videos. See part two here. -via Arbroath
