Boat crashes into Hammersmith Bridge, the tide was too high for the boat to go under. The Captain of the Boat obviously didn't know what he was doing.

Looks to me from this video the boat was trying to turn before reaching the bridge but misjudged the distance or water flow (sorry, think the video is preceded by an advert):https://news.sky.com/video/west-ham-fans-boat-hits-hammersmith-bridge-on-their-way-to-match-against-fulham-13028134

It was light when it hit the bridge, most river users know about Hammersmith Bridge, because you have to lower your areal etc. He must have been a novice, or the tide was flowing quicker than he thought.

Talk about losing twice over. 0-5 and what was boat doing at Hammersmith having come from London and gone passed Fulham-surely not lost-a few more minutes drinking perhaps.
