Well, another drawbridge incident has happened in South Florida. This time a pontoon that took cover due to rain under the Cato Bridge in Jupiter, almost got crushed when the docked in an unauthorized area. Instead of going under the bridge in the main channel, the boat passed under the bridge closer to the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway, where there are signs that clearly say "Unauthorized Personnel Prohibited," "Danger Moving Machinery," and "No Trespassing Violators will be Prosecuted."
So, in all fairness the boaters should not have been there, but it also brings up the question, are there cameras under the drawbridge so accidents like this never happen.... the bridge tender said she was unaware if there were cameras there!
